Help!
I've lost track of my spark plug wires coming from the 2 coils. I don't know which coil wire goes to which distributor cap.
There is a forward coil (closer to the front of the car) and a rear coil (closer to the rear of the car).
Can someone tell me which coil wire goes to which distributor cap?
Thanks a million, in advance!

Hi,
Shouldnt matter, but just make sure that the Coil HT leads have enought distance and aren't pulled too tight to reach the caps, they should have enough slack to cope with engine vibration.

I may have incorrectly labeled them, but I've got conficting information on my hands and want to make sure I get it right.
Thanks.
