Alright, I know it isn't a third gen but I was hoping I can get some help anyways.

1986 Bronco 2 2.9 v6.

It was running rough after a partial tune up that consisted of plugs and wires. I took the cap off to inspect it, rotor and cap were shot. I replaced the cap and rotor. Car started on first attempt, but it ran bad and shook horribly. I had it cross wired. I looked up the wiring diagram and wired it correctly from what I can tell, although now it won't even hit. From what I can tell its 142536 on the firing order and the cylinders are numbered 123 456 starting on the passenger side working back. The number one plug wire is the top plug near passenger side firewall. Now, assuming the info I have is right, could it just be 180 degrees out of time? And if it was, if i wired it backwards, or rotated the dizzy 180 would that fix it? Now, I know if it is the best thing would be to pull it and put it back in right, but I think i have to take the damn intake off to get that done.

Please help.

I have a 1987 Bronco II - great little trucks - although I don't know tons about it from the top of my head like I do the Camaros. But I think cylinders are numbered from front of car back to firewall, making pass side front #1, then #2, then #3 at pass side firewall, the #4 front driver side, then #5, then #6 at driver side firewall. Anyway, www.therangerstation.com will have all the info you could ever want (just like TGO).

 

Thanks for the help. I had it wired right, it just flooded out. It started and ran perfectly fine after sitting til the morning.
