Default Cylinder numbers question

Forgive my question, but my brain just isn't functioning correctly today, and I really need the reassurance. The cylinder numbers are, from the cylinder closest to the fire wall, 1,2,3,4. Right?

Just backwards, closest to Firewall is #4, then 3,2, and #1 by the Dizzy. Firing Order is 1-3-4-2

Surprising that I had # 4 at tdc and it fired right up?

Don't want to see you hurt yourself, so, on the Dizzy, #1 is at the 135* position and rotation is clockwise.

Too late...already hurting. I should be able to align the can properly without removing the can tower, right.

Yes, 1 and 4 are paired as are 2 and 3. Depending on aftermarket add ons the injectors may not be sequenital so you may be getting fuel to the cylinder.

The 3 liter blocks have windage ports between 1and 2 and between 3 and 4. this helps keep the air below the piston from having to move through the oil.

Sorry about the baggy being in #3

Because I am clearly mentally impaired, let me be redundant.

#1 is at TDC when #4 is at TDC, so all I need to do is rewrite the lug wires?

Unless I also wired the LR injector harness wrong (backwards) in which case I will need to swap those connections as well. Right?

Rewrite the plug wires, that is.

If I am not mistaken the Lindsey injector harness is a gang fire harness. The only thing you need to do is re-run your spark plug wires

Well, that's proof that it is often better to be lucky than smart.
