Re: firing order and spark plug wires



 Some replys have left out that # 1 piston HAS TO BE ON THE COMPRESSION STROKE or you easily could be 180 degree off And that is not good.
 leave your valve covers on and ok to have all sparkplugs in. As mentioned Leave #1 sparkplug very loose or out with your finger over the plug hole. When turning over the engine slowly, you will hear or feel compression. Turn TDC  mark on balancer forward or back a little ways to line it up with the pointer. Now you are ready to run wires...................MO

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
