TOTALLY SCREWED UP
I was changing the spark plug wires the other day and i was taking out the third furthest on the drivers side when i noticed that the third furthest and last wires were ghetto rigged with a zip tie so that they wouldnt hit the headers and melt (im guessing, i just found out a zip tie was being used) so when i cut it i accidentaly pulled the other wire out too, therefore mixing up which wire is which and now i dont know which wire goes to which spot in the cap....anything i can do? or any way i can tell? does it matter?

Re: TOTALLY SCREWED UP (joe73vette)
Just to add what joe said 1,3,5,7 are on the drivers side and 2,4,6,8 are on the passenger side.so look at the cap and trace the ones you know are right still and that should help you.

You call that a screw up? Try starting a car with the oil filter off or putting oil in the power steering system :banghead: FYI, I was very very young and it wasn't on a Vette :lol:

Re: TOTALLY SCREWED UP (QuickVet)
we should start a topic of screwups, it would be funny. everyone has at one time forgotten to put the oil drain plug in. how about the guy who put 90W gear lube in his freshly rebuilt automatic tranny, and wondered why it wouldn't shift? joe
