Have a 1978 AQ120 fourbanger. Dist out of it. All ineed to know is number 1 cylimder is it front of the engine or next to the flywheel. I have firing order, what is the timing in degrees, and the rpm set. I can go from there. Thank you for any help. Got a grandboy ready to fish!

Re: Timing; number 1, front or rear?

#1 is in front. #4 is closest to flywheel.
Point gap is .016 Dwell is 62? +- 3?

EDIT: you wanted timing, not gap.
6? BTDC at 750 rpm
36? to 38? BTDC at 2800 to 5000 rpm
