If you're looking for the firing order it would be 1,3,4,2.



Also check the coil and spark plugs

that firing order placement is all wrong. 1-3-4-2 is correct, but 1 is relative to the distributor cap. your number 1 should be towards the back of the dizzy cap towards the lower radiator hose.

There should be some kind of marker on the dizzy for #1, and then after that plug them in a clockwise order

The dizzy in the picture is not necessarily going to look the same as yours, and most likely isn't.

Have you checked that the ignition module and ignition coil are getting power? Don't just say "the fuse looks good", go and check that you actually have power at the coil and module connectors.

i took the 2 module to auto zone last night and they both failed so the guy that worked there tried a brand new one right off the shelf and that failed so i'm going to try some more places today.

I think there's a secondary lesson here about buying things like that from Auto Zone.
