Re: [DML] Correction: Timing marks on crankshaft pulley



Yea Bill, 

We made the same mistake.  The Delorean manual prints the sequence as:
1-6-3-5-2-4

which is technically correct but misleading (for me) to think that meant
1-6 3-5 2-4    (where 1 and 6 fire closely, as you say, 30degrees)

If you are correct about the timing wheel marks, it would have been nicer
for them to print:
6-3-5-2-4-1

or as you said, 6-3 5-2 4-1.
