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)

Green and black I think is oil pressure sender if i'm not mistaken. Cannot get mine fired either. Carbed engine, pertronix ingnition. I ONLY have a red and black wire from my coil, and i am running Red to the Plus side of the coil, black to the negative. Double checked my TDC, it appears to be fine, with no one plug wire oriented correctly, and all others in sequence (1-4-3-2) I am only getting the occasional pop, and occasional backfires through the carbs. Any ideas? |
