L20E firing order?

Hey guys, recently bought a 1978 Datsun 280ZX (GS130) which is powered by an L20E I6. I've been experiencing problems with the distributor and I would like to find out the firing order of an L20E I6

I wouldn't want to risk using the 15 36 24 since it's for an L28..


thanks

200zx

Is that a right hand drive car, if it has a 200 in it it must be a 200zx, since the L28e was exported, and the (L20E) 200zx was the largest z motor you could get in Japan, because of HP restrictions. There might have been a L20ET, I need to do some reading, can you post some pics, engine bay even please.

FSM of my '81 datsun tells me 153624 and it's a 2.8l non turbo engine

Edit: sorry for this... I mixed it around. But there should be an FSM for those cars too I'm guessing

L20E engine problem

-idles at 1.1k
-engine stalls once the aircon is turned on
-it "misfires" from 1k~3k rpm, can hear it in the vid a little
-checked under, some leaks coming from the engine, I think it's from the power steering
-exhaust sprays a little bit of gas when I rev it
