That's correct:
 
Firing order 15 (too young)
36 (too old)
24 (just right)

Great looking car and nice job. It's a pleasure to find out there are American builders here. I was expecting there's only AMX builders here. I'm glad i joined this forum Smile.  This gives me boost to get my project -65 American 220 2D going on!

So after a lot of traveling, I've finally gotten back to the car and want to start getting the timing down. I seem to be having a problem getting a read on my RPMs.  I have an old engine analyzer which was working, but since I shipped it here to GA from CA, I'm thinking maybe it was damaged.  So for $23 i got what looks to be almost a brand new one off of ebay.  So 2 Craftsman analyzers, set on RPM, low range, new batteries, wire clamped around #1 plug wire and still not picking up the RPMs.  I bought a tach and hooked it up to the coil and it was able to read the RPMs.  I've hooked the timing light up to the #1 plug wire and it's picking it up and flashing it's strobe.  Does anybody have any clue as to what might be the problem with the engine analyzer not picking up RPMs?
