this is probably a dumb question but do the spark plug wires have to be plugged in to the distributor at a certain spot? and if so what would be the order? I'm brand new to the 914. Well actually brand new to all cars the 914 i recently inherited will be my first car!! so any help would be appreciated (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)

My guess is the wires were in the correct spot until you changed them around now your firing order is off. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png)
You need to get #1 at top dead center, both valves for #1 closed, mark on the flywheel lined up in the timing cover, then find where the rotor is pointing and make that wire go to #1 cyl. Then clockwise 4,3,2. |
