1-4-2-5-3-6 ============================================ The STRAIGHT 6 cylinder in a 1965 Ford Mustang is : 1 - 5 - 3 - 6 - 2 - 4 The distributor rotor turns CLOCKWISE The marked # 1 position on the distributor cap faces AWAY from the engine
To set the distributor in a 1965 Ford Mustang, first ensure the engine is at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke for the number one cylinder. Next, align the rotor to point toward the number one spark plug wire on the distributor cap. Secure the distributor in place, then adjust the timing with a timing light to the specified degrees before top dead center (BTDC), typically around 6-10 degrees for this model. Finally, tighten the distributor hold-down clamp and recheck the timing if necessary.
On a 1965 Ford Mustang : The 200 cubic inch ( INLINE / STRAIGHT ) 6 cylinder engine firing order is : ( 1 - 5 - 3 - 6 - 2 - 4 ) The distributor rotor turns CLOCKWISE ( when looking from the top ) The marked # 1 position on the distributor cap faces AWAY from the engine The engine cylinder locations are numbered 1 to 6 , from front to rear
I suggest you just purchase a pointless laser distributor from accel, there is no messing around with compatability and it looks really cool.
1 way to tell a 1964 Mustang from a 1965 Mustang is to look under the hood the 1964 relied on a generator and the 1965 had an alternator.
