Anyone know where the timing mark is on one of these and what the firing order is? I know by heart about 6 different firing orders but never ventured into one of these lil cars.

I have spark knock really bad and it spits and sputters after it warms up. I know some of that is the timing so I am just fixing as I go.

The distributor seems easy enough but where is #1 suppose to be?
What should the timing be set at from the factory?
What is the firing order?

Thanks in advance for any help.

as stupid as it sounds check out autozone.com, they have a ton of repair manuals on there with timing specs etc. for free.

Oh honey your gonna have to just ride out here one afternoon. I have 3 Honda's, 2 Miata's, a few Chebby's, a few dozen Mustangs of course and several other lil projects that you wouldn't think I would have.

Looking at a Subaru Brat right now. :)

I will check Auto Zone now. Thanks for the tip.
