Ron/list,

Heh heh.  Coincidentally, last night I pulled all my plug wires off the
cap.  Yes, all at the same time.  Don't know _what_ I was thinking.  I
was doing it during commercials, watching ST:Voyager.  Too rushed and
too excited to get my new plug wires on!

I figured the Bentley would have a diagram.  Didn't see one.  Haynes
either.

Is there an easy way to tell/know which ones go where?  I guess one
could use the firing order to figure which ones should get spark
sequentially as the rotor spins.

THIS IS JUST FOOD FOR THOUGHT!  I am only posting this because Ron
brought it up!  I DO_NOT_NEED HELP!!

I will be using my 4ksq as a reference!  So only "Duh, George!" messages
are welcome!

Later,

Ken
