Plug Wire Route
Being new to C3's I am sort of a loss figuring out the pathways for plugwires. It appears that they run down the backside of the engine and then along the side. Is this true? Is there a diagram showing the route of the wires? Also, my 74 has an electronic ignition. Does it also have a rotor within the distributor? My problem is that there is a small miss when idling and upon acceleration. If I accelerate hard the miss disappears until I once again idle or slow the vehicle. I am thinking of replacing the plugs, wires, distributor car, and rotor. Any help would be appreciated.

See this thread on the same subject i posted last week. Hope this helps. Its basic things like replacing caps rotor plugs and wires that can make a big difference in how the motor runs.

Thanks, Guys
I ordered an A.I.M. manual this week and hopefully it will get here by the weekend. Looks like an involved job replacing the wires! Since it is a new carb (Edlebrock), it may need adjustment. Thanks for the reference and the pointers.
