I recently purchased 2 used 318's. The starters had been removed but came with the motors. I can find no ID tags or stickers on the engines. The block of one engine has: "4006730-318-4" on the port side and "6-7-78" on the starboard side. Which starter goes on this engine? How do I determine RH or LH. I have determined the directions on the starters, one left and one right. Help!
 
Here is the Std LH 318 ignition firing order.
Distributors for both Standard LH and Rev RH engines turn in the same direction.

Find #1 spark plug lead cap tower.

If #8 cylinder follows #1 (in the CW direction), this is your Std LH rotation engine.
If #2 cylinder follows #1 (in the CW direction), this is your REV RH rotation engine.


Engine rotation is viewed as though looking from the flywheel end!
