so heres the story.
my car got broken into at work today and they took my steering wheel so i had to leave my car at work!!
i didnt even think about it but they could steal my car overnight! so i went back and took out my spark plug cables but me being the idiot that i am forgot which spot on distributor goes to which cylinder.
can anyone help me?
or is it different for each car.
its an ls engine
b18

 

just put cyl #1 at tdc (top dead center), do this by lining up the crank pulley line with the line on the plastic timing cover (with a 19mm socket on the crank pulley bolt. make sure the car's in neutral w/ the e/brake on). pull the distributor cap.

the rotor will be pointing at #1 or #4. assume its #1, go ahead and put the wires on the cap with the cap off. firing order, looking at the cap, will go 1,3,4,2, in a clockwise order, so put the longest wire on 1, then put the second shortest wire (#3) on the next terminal in a clockwise pattern, then #4, the shortest, then 2. put the cap on, snug a couple screws, snap the wires in place on the plugs,and try to fire the car. if it runs smooth, you're good. if it doesn't, the rotor was pointing at #4. you're "180 out". you need to swap wires two places. it should run fine.

i'm sure omeone can just throw you a "#1 is at the bottom" or somethin, i just can't remember

 

thanks man
i think itll be alot easier with the #1 is at the bottom hahah
bumpp

 

or you could go out and buy the helems book and it showes you what wire goes where and you don't have to mess around with TDC crap

 

ahh i dont wanna spend money i gotta buy a new wheel.
shouldnt it be the same on a stock b18?
can someone match theres pleaseee
