Truck was running before the next events..
Spark Plug and Wire Change..
Let's assume someone removed all of the spark plug wires and did not mark where they go...
72 Series III 4 Cylinder.
Hand Cranked the engine and found where the #1 cylinder was at the top. Checked the distributor and assumed that was where the number 1 cylinder plug would go then installed right to left from there 3,4,2.
Truck now cranks but will not fire. Took out a spark plug and grounded it. We are gettng Spark but it looks very weak to me. Not the nice blue arc I am used to seeing.
Other than the plugs and wires (and of course the wires all being removed) nothing has changed. Even if plugged in wrong I would think the engine would fire and try to run really horribly not just crank and crank...
Am I right in thinking the wires will rotate from 1 3 4 2 around the cap?? Has anyone had issues with Lucas wires?? They do not have a really nice snap into the coil or distributor.
Thanks in advance.
