Firing order
SOURCE: firing order for 1966 ford mustang 200 cubic inch
The engine is a 200 CID straight six, the firing order is 153624...
Just pop the distributor cap and have someone crank the engine while you
watch the rotor.
How I can determine which hole in the distributor is assigned to the #1
plug wire.
Pull the number one plug. Turn the engine over slowly (with a wrench)
while holding your finger over the plug hole. When the air builds (a lot
of) pressure you are coming up to the number one spot on the
distributor. (the rotor will point to the location of the #1 hole in the
distributor.)
Quick methods to disable the engine I have seen people do on the
classics:
Close the points by loosening the set screw
Pull the rotor cap
Connect a wire from the coil to ground. (effectively closes the points.
Can damage the coil if key is left on.)
Pull the main ignition wire
And there are some tricks at the starter solonoid involving the ballast
resistor bypass that is used to provide a hotter spark while cranking.
(Two little wires at the starter solonoid - one is crank the other is
the ballast bypass.)
Might give those a look-see. Best of luck (rememeber rated this help).
