    I don’t have sparks on the spark plug, I do have a new ignition coil and the current is indeed coming to the coil, where can I look for where it comes from?
    I am in 12v on my 6 cyl, and for the ignition order is it mandatory that it be in this order there 153624 where can I make this order there 123456???

    The firing order is the sequence of the pistons rising to the top of their stroke in the compression cycle. No, it can not be changed. Weak or no spark is usually bad points, improper points gap, a bad condenser or a combination.

    I think what you are asking for a custom distributor cap to rearrange the firing order on the cap itself. This does not/cannot change the firing order of the engine. This is only common on popular engines like the small block Chevy.

    Like GAmes has said check those components and remember a lot of the new ignition parts are very poorly made. Even new ones don’t always work. You can still find NOS on eBay or even an electronic ignitor.

    Since you have converted to 12 volts use this as a checklist, pay attention to steps 4 & 5
