The timing is controlled by the magnet/missing tooth on the crank pulley. My system has a missing tooth, yours may have a trigger magnet. That establishes the correct firing for #1 cylinder and from there on, the system counts the "teeth" on the pulley to fire the other plugs. Can you post a picture of the coils on your car? Seeing it might give me some ideas about the wiring order.
