Alright here is the deal, ever since i converted to carbs i have had my spark plug wires set up like this ( picture ) but it runs crappy and I set the timing but still runs like crap. Now my question is after I was browsing pictures on here I see that it looks like my plug wires are set up wrong. But when i switch them to like this ( 2nd picture ) it just turns over and then ... pops like a timing issue. WTF!
