1, 8, 4, 3, 6, 5, 7, 2
Cylinders 1, 3, 5, 7 - LH side of engine
Cylinders 2, 4, 6, 8 - RH side of engine

Hmm.... let's see what I can look up...

Firing order is: 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2...

1 is the front-left cylinder (closest to the oil cap), 2 is the front-right cylinder, 3 is the next-left cylinder, etc.

The dizzy turns clockwise. #1 is towards the front of the vehicle, nearest the coil (the manual doesn't show enough detail for me to describe it in reference to the dizzy cap's retaining clips). The next one clockwise, #8, is closest to the very front of the vehicle; and so on....

Hope that helps!

Here this might help. Obviously the front of the engine is on top.
