    Here's another visual: zig-zagging from top to bottom 2-4-6-coil-3-1-5. If you get this right, and the spark plug wires are on the correct plugs, the car's computer will fire them in this order: 1-5-3-6-4-2.

    He said his new dizzy didn't have the numbers on them. I took a picture of my distributor with the numbers on it. Reading comprehension, it's a great thing. Hehe :p

    On my phone all I could see was the residue from your pile of crap. Now that its on my 84" projector screen I can indeed make out the numbers. Your service to mankind is duly noted :-)
