<VV> Help! Ignition Messed UP - help proff-reading my links to Corvair ignition wiring ?

[Charles Lee]

Right !

If you're used to inline-6 engines, that would have made sense, but not on 
Corvair !
Does Porsche use the same firing order ?

I makes more sense when the viewed from above:

In this one I colorized the hard to follow in black-and-white manual 
drawings :

Here I tried to put it all together a while back to see ignition, starter, 
etc all in one place :

I'd really appreciate it if you guys could proof read it for me to make sure 
it's right ?
It was pulled apart when I first did it, but maybe it needs to be updated ?

Hope it helps and thanks for any input you can afford me !

Charlie

 B"H

I'd like to thank the great folks who responded to my ignition problem. One
thing I neglected, makes me embarrassed, but...

The left bank of cylinders turns out to be 2-4-6, NOT!!! 4-5-6. And the 
right
side is 1-3-5, NOT!!! 1-2-3...

You'd think it's pretty obvious, since the info is stamped on top of the 
turkey
roaster....

Lesson learned. Sometimes it's the simple things that you can slip up when
doing a complex task. As I was scratching my head looking at the engine bay, 
it
suddenly hit me. I re-did the wires, and she started up the first time...

Imagine installing A/C in, around, and under the car when it's 100 degrees
outside. There some sort of irony there...
