"I have twin chrysler 225 LM 3
"I have twin chrysler 225 LM 318b v8 left and right rotation engines in an Australian built Halvorsen 30 ft cruiser.
I inadvertantly pulled out all the ignition cables to service them and now can't figure out what goes where. Yes, I know, I will mark them in future. But right now, please get me out of this fix.
The information I found in these posts is helpful, but I do not understand the information in the manual or printed on the inside of the ignition cover relative to the actual position of things on the engines.
I think that the piston numbering system for both engines is:
- propeller end -
8 7
6 5
4 3
2 1
- belts and water pump end -
What I need to know is, how do I tell on the distributor cap which is 12756348 and 18436572 (Right and left respectively)?
I have some cables still attached on the right engine (makes me very confused when I compare to the manual), but all cables are off on the left engine.
If you could indicate in a mock diagram (as above) I would be greatly appreciative.
I am not a mechanic. If the engine was made of wood, I would have no problems
Hope you can help.
Regards,
aAron"
