Default ""which Spark Plug Wire Where??""

After fixing one problem I've created another...I took off 2 wires off the dist. to make more hand room for a sensor under the plenum. I removed a 3rd wire and now I'm screwed...I forgot which wire go's where on the dist. How in the world do I hook this back up right.

Besides being in the factory manual you asked about, it is also cast into the intake manifold.

RACE ON!!!

And for fun...


Ford SBF:

distributor (counterclockwise)
..1.8..
5....7
4....3
..2.6..
front of car
5 1
6 2
7 3
8 4


International Harvester, just one of many V8s:

distributor (counterclockwise)
..1.8..
2....6
7....5
..3.4..
front of car
2 1
4 3
6 5
8 7


If you look closely, you'll see that all these firing orders are exactly the same, just the cylinders are numbered differently (and the distributor spins backwards from chevy)
