Hi, I'm new to this site and I'm in need of some help. I have a 1.6 1990 with  xu5j engine and need help with the firing order, I know its 1-3-4-2 but need to know locations on the distributor cap, if anyone can help I would appreciate it.

Image shows an Mi16 but lead positions on the cap & engine is the same, not forgetting that #1 is at the flywheel end (nearest the dizzy).

Just to add: on the distributor (with the cap removed) you'll notice a small notch (+/- 8 o'clock position in image) as in the image below. This indicates cylinder 1 on the dizzy itself.

Thanks for the help guys much appreciated but I'm just not 100% sure/confident on where each one goes based on the first image compared to mine.

The only difference between the image & your cap is the king lead from the coil is facing the opposite way, other than that the leads to the plugs are in the exact same order.
