If you are planning to replace your ignition wires always do one wire at a time. The #1 spark plug is the driver's side front of the engine. Trace that ignition wire to the distributor cap and you now have #1. The wires run clockwise on the distributor cap. So the next wire in line would be #8 , the next will be #4 and so on. If you already removed the wires and seem lost you can either look in a Chilton's manual and/or see the firing order in the picture diagram. | If you are planning to replace your ignition wires always do one wire at a time.
