[FWDLK] No starting

["Sperduto, Nick" <SperdutoN@xxxxxxx>]

Ed, this may be dumb, but I had a problem when I r&r'd the motor in my Savoy
(6 cyl)
when I put the ignition wires back on the car, I put them in the order that
was listed in the chilton book I had and the car wouldn't start, after
checking everything and then looking at a original plymouth manual. the
chilton book had the nuber one spot on the cap one position off from where
it should have been.
I would check that and the firing order
