sir,
I already donated $ 3 for the first question. This my 2nd question only

I want to replace and fix new spark plug cables to the engine.
Cable 1.from cylinder 1 to distributer No. 3
Cable 2.from cylinder 2 to distributer No. 1
Cable 3.from cylinder 2 to distributer No. 2
Cable 4.from cylinder 2 to distributer No. 4

This order is correct or not? Please I need your advise.

Thanks,
Parambil

Not a problem, glad to help. The firing order is 1,3,4,2 The cylinders are 1,2,3,4 starting from the front. I'm not sure how you explained it if you are correct. Find where the rotor is pointing when the engine is at TDC on the crankshaft. The rotor should be pointing at the plug wire for the #1 cylinder. From there, install the wires to the cylinders in the order I said, 1,3,4,2. NOTE: You need to follow the direction around the distributor as same as the direction the rotor turns.

I hope this helps.
