HT lead order?

[limbo]

I replaced a worn distributor cap today but may have got my HT leads in the wrong order as I'm getting backfire.

What's the best order for these - I can see 3 length leads - coil is short, but then what?

Ta, limbo (total novice)

Thanks for the VERY quick reply.

That's great. Sort of getting there. Seems there might be an issue with the carb, as there's still backfire but it's gradual. Think I made a larger mess of an existing problem.

It was the distributor cap - as I thought, but also the idle screw needed a tweak (flat spot issue). Had a 30 minute run and so far so good.

Looking from above the leads on the left side go straight to the nearest plugs and the ones on the right cross over Check your cap and rotor arm are seated properly

Yeah. Did that - wasn't the issue. Was wear on the Dist Cap itself and my paranoia in lead order brought me here. Replaced cap, checked order, tweaked idle screw for mix and think I'm good to go.
