Re: firing order and spark plug wires



Well, if you feel bad about doing it the easy way, you could always make a blood sacrifice - absolutely guaranteed to make it go right (sometimes).

Pull the number one plug, rotate the engine with the starter and listen for the hiss from that cylinder (the compresson is blowing out the air).  Or, if all plugs are out, put your finger over the #1 plug hole and you'll feel the pressure. Then line up the TDC on the vibration dampener.

How do you know that the #1 piston is top dead center?

Set the your engine to top dead center. The rotor will be pointing at number one. Then plug the wires not the cap following your firing order.

Just to confuse things further-  Number 1 cap terninal can be any place you want it.  With #1 piston at TDC on the compression stroke You can put the dist in with the rotor  pointed at any terminal-- that would be fireing #1 sparkplug. .  Be sure you know the direction of rotor rotation before running the rest of your wires!..............MO

I replaced my distributor cap and unplugged all the wires (without marking them).  
Thought I had a diagram of how to replace them.

I have the firing order, but in what order do I plug the spark plug 
wires back into the distributor cap?

Thanks,
Doug
