Guess I wrote my question wrong. Which plug does the origional, shortest plug wire go to?

Still not clear, at least to me...

Are you asking:

1. distributor orientation when installed in engine?

I suspect this is your question since the firing order in your images is correct and the numbers on your cap look correct. What is the difference between your images that you're trying to figure out?

2. which plug wire goes into which terminal on the distributor?

I think you know this, right?

3. shortest wire being closest spark plug wire or coil lead or?

I'm not sure what you mean by "shortest wire". A picture might clarify

4. Something else?

Thanks for taking the time to help. I have all the origional wires and distributor/cap. The plug wires are different lengths. The shortest plug wire doesn't seem to be long enough without stretching it over the valve cover. It just doesnt seem right and I'm wondering what I did wrong.

It sounds like you need a photo of someone's stock wire routing, a diagram from a repair manual, or even a photo of the wires like this one I found online for a Chevy (not yours !!)



Sorry I don't have any of that so I hope another member can help.

Do you have the stock looms? What year engine? That might help others help you.

You'll get there..
