FIRING ORDER & TIMING MARKS
WARNING: On the 3.0L V6, the firing order and the spark plug
connection order on the top of the distributor do not match.
Circuits internal to the distributor cap differ from the
external spark plug wire connections. This is intentional and
is done to avoid spark plug wires crossover. See Fig. 3.
