Hi Everyone,
Thanks for all your help on this one.  I just drew a major blank and could
not figure it out and of course the list and a very patient Boston Bob.  The
bus is kinda back on the road.  System is bled and runs great but is still
running a little hot.  I will re bleed the system again tomorrow and then go
on from there.
Thanks Again,
Kevin

Kevin,

The firing order should be 1,4,3,2.

If you are standing at the back of the van,
#1 is top right side
#4 is bottom left side
#3 is top left side
#2 is bottom right side

The distributore rotates clockwise.

looking down at the top of the distributor, the wire orientation should look
like this:

          32
          41
