Not Ranked

Just for clarification, the number one cylinder is the front right cylinder looking back from the front of the car. Also, the distributor turns clockwise. My bet is you have a plug wire switched.
Firing order is 18436572. Cylinders are numbered 1357 on the right side, front to back, and 2468 on the left bank, front to back.
