Thanks Mark. I have these correct. I found a diagram on Ken's site that enabled me to check the firing order and spark plug wire placements and this shows that the right side wires are crossed and No 1 is forward right.

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. > > Mark > > > Steve Cotsford wrote: >> I am woking on the '88 Biuestar................. >> I have checked out the spark plug firing order and seen that the distributor rotor is pointing to the right position when the pulley mark is at TDC for cyl 1. >> >> I have tried starting the engine multiple times and have had it firing consistently on 2 cylinders I believe. >> >> ................... |
