1948 plymouth 6 cylinder firing order also wire location on dist. cap

SOURCE: distributor cap firing order

Your firing order is 1-3-4-2 The rotor in the dist cap rotates clockwise, cylinders are numbered 4 at front of engine, 3,2,1 at firewall.

Sounds like you have the firing order right but your off on the #1 on the distributer. Every time you get an explosion coming from the carb its misfiring. Find the #1 on dist and continue with firing order

That's how it gets wired. Just make sure that you have the correct position for the #1 cap post.

Is the coil connected to the ditributor? did you knock any connections off in the process? Does it turn over but not fire? do you have spark at the plugs? Are you sure of cylinder location in respect to firing order? Did you-and check this first as with any elec. problems-blow a fuse in the ignition circuit? good luck!
