Where do they go! ! I cannot get this thing running because when we installed headers we forgot where the pulg wires went and now it won run!!! Help please guys

 

 

TexasSilhouette nice diagram. Just some advice for those contemplating on removing their spark plug wires all at once. Use a permanent mark and label the spark plug wire. This will save time and hard ache.

 

I put wires on like you show and My car still wont start.... I am lost

WAIT>>>> Is the 1 and 8 in front or the 5 and 6....?

 

Good chance your distributor was stabbed wrong.

Bar the motor over until the timing mark lines up, the rotor will be pointing at #1 or #6. If it's not pointing at the #1 or #6 in my diagram then it's stabbed wrong. Won't effect how it runs as long as you put them on accordingly.

If you pull the #1 plug out and find the compression stroke, then line up the timing mark, then your rotor will be pointing at #1.

Count clockwise from there 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2

Good luck.

 

Ok got plug wires on right now car wont turn over, no click or anything.

It was turning over slow then it was turning over is spurts then it didnt turn over but it made a buzzing noise now it wont even try to turn over. I am lost. I am guessing the starter died?

 

Is the battery charged?

 

If you have a volt meter, check the battery voltage while cranking. If it's dropping below 9 volts your battery is dead or you have a bad (dirty, loose) cnnection at your battery. disconnect your battery (negitive off first and on last) and inspect the connections or hook up a charger/ jump start as neccessary.

 

Ok I had a bad connection but my battery is low. I am charging the car right now and Have a new starter I am going to putin here soon. The starter in the car right now is spinning itself but not the flywheel sometimes, doesnt kick the lil gear out all the way sometimes.

 

Ok new starter onbut car seems like its hydrolocked, the motor turns over slowly even with all wires checked and battery on a jump starter. I am going to take all of the spark plugs out to see if they are wet with fuel and if they are I will turn it over a couple times with them out and see if that clears things in there up eneough to start... Drove the car home yesterday without a few cylenders fireing, I am guessing this has something to do with it...
