firing order wrong
 
i recently rebuilt my engine in my 1993 mitsubishi montero sport 3.0L V6
i got the timing set correctly with the marks shown online and in my chilton's book i set the timing on the ditributor and it's out of time. ive tried hundreds off diff ways i know the timings good not shure about the timing on the distributor. online it says my firing order is 1-2-3-4-5-6
back of engine
5-6
3-4
1-2
front of engine

but the distributor cap says 1-2-6-4-5-3
going clockwise

chiltons says

1-3-5-6-4-2
counterclockwise

the dizzy goes clockwise not counter-clockwise

ive tried about with no avail im completely sick of this truck at this point but i am still hopefull. if anyone knows how the dizzy and wire's are really supposed to go id owe you forever thanks in advance Charlie : )

replaced my dizzy still no luck. also i tore apart 3 other v6 mitsu's at the junk yard all of them are the same as my timing setup.

Bring #1 piston to TDC on the compression stroke and put the distributor in with the rotor pointing to #1 plugwire on the cap and see if that helps it.

I'll try that think i already have though. all the ones ive torn down at the junk yard point to the heater hoses on the firewall #6 pos.

tried it didnt work. also i pulled all my plugs hooked them up to the wires and shocked myself 6 times for a good cause they all were in working order.
