The 2 spark plug wires on the right side need to cross. The wires on the
left side don't. For the right side, with the cap off and the rotor
pointing at the tiny little notch on the rim of the distributor the wire
it would be pointing at needs to go to the spark plug on the forward
right, closest to the front of the vehicle.
