Where do plug wires go?
In a plug, the blue neutral wire goes to the left, the brown live wire to the right and the green and yellow striped earth wire to the top.
What is the firing order on the distributor cap?
The firing order on a distributor cap for an 8 cylinder engine is 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8. Inside the distributor cap is the rotor. The rotor strangely enough got that name because it rotates. As it rotates it passes a spark though to each of the spark plug wires that are plugged into the top of the distributor cap.
Are all spark plug wires the same?
Plug wires are most often rated by their diameter. The most common are 7mm and 8mm thicknesses, but what's more important is the conductor. The best choice is the spiro-wrap style Taylor wires that reduce resistance, minimize RFI noise, and offer the best performance.
What is the ignition wire?
Spark plug wires (also referred to as ignition wiring) transfer the spark from the distributor or ignition coil to the plugs. The subsequent spark ignites the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber of your engine. ... Over time, the ignition wiring can become brittle, crack or breakdown.
What are spark plug wires made of?
Spark plug wires have an outer insulation several times thicker than the conductor, made of a very flexible and heat-resistant material such as silicone or EPDM rubber.
How do you connect a plug?
Unscrew the little screws on each of the plug's pins. Insert the twisted copper wires into the holes in the pins. The green and yellow wire must always be inserted into the top pin. The blue wire is inserted into the left pin (the pin is marked with a blue spot or the letter N).
