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 with a red stripe goes to the oil pressure switch, which is in a hole near the distributor. This switch controls the warning light on the dash telling you when your oil pressure has dropped below about 7psi.
Green with a black stripe is for the oil temp sender, which is on the bottom of the motor. Some motors don't have the temp sender installed, or don't have a temp gauge, or both. In those cases, green w/ black is left unhooked. Green w/ black on the motor connects to green w/black close to the battery tray. Brown depends on where this wire is exactly. I know not everyone has a digital camera, but nice clear pictures will make helping 1000x easier. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Good Luck! You've got a lot of reading and learning to do, but it does get easier. We were all in your shoes at one point or another. |
