Need some advice as I seem to be having a senior moment regarding the layout of the V8 cylinders and fitting new HT leads.

Page 13 of the bible has a diagram of the cylinder layout of the V8. On the left of the diagram is what appears to be a pully which I assume indicates the oil/water pump and therefore the front of the engine.

From this the diagram indicates that cylinders 1/3/5/7 are on the left bank and 2/4/6/8 are on the right bank.

This is the opposite to what I have been told by the supplier of the, numbered, HT leads.

Who is right.

Yours, confused.

Drivers side is the even bank, passenger side the odd bank, number 1 is at the front of the engine number 8 is at the back.

It happened in one print run. SO PLEASE DON"T CORRECT ALL THE COPIES otherwise those with the correct diagram will make it wrong. It has been corrected see here www.shpub.co.uk/tvrbooks/update_wedge.html for more details.
