Subject:Re: SPARK PLUG WIRE PLACEMENT?

I've found that the easiest way to replace plug wires and make sure that you
don't screw anything up is to replace them one at a time, so you can tell
what goes where.

Alternatively, the cap is set up generally in spatial relation to the
cylinders, so the cap plug that is in the upper left of the cap goes to the
cylinder in the upper left, etc, and the middle wire goes to your ignition
coil.

But it's oh so much easier to do it with no mistakes if you do one wire at a
time.
