Dooh... Stupid me...

[TonyJohnson]

Yesterday, I decided the Blaze was due for a tuneup and I installed plugs, new wires, new cap, coil and rotor. I had decided to do everything right, so I anti-seized the plugs, dialectic greased the wires on both ends, routed the wires neatly and had everything looking good. The only issue (I thought...) was the cap hold-down screw at one o'clock on the distributor. It's really squeezed back against the firewall because the HEI cap is so big and I just couldn't get a screwdriver on it to lock it back down. I jacked around for about an hour trying different combos and finally cut a handle off a cheap flat-blade and wrapped the end with some black tape to get a grip and FINALLY it worked... Here I am feeling all proud of my self and fired it up. Damn it was missing. Sounded like it was running on 4 cylinders. Looked at the wires 4 times before I realized I had switched 6 and 8... Dooh... Anyway, it runs a lot better now with the firing order correct.
