follow the wires back from the ignition module on the distributer on the passenger side of the engine and you will find just a single wire that has a little plug in it kinda t shaped that is your spout connector you cant miss it just hanging there

It's easy to break the plastic connector, so be careful taking it apart.

"Spout" is an abbreviation for "Spark Output". I had the same problem when I read a code referring to "Spout". It's the single insulated coil wire.

Get the engine timed as best you can without disconnecting any plugs. Then, while the engine is running, unplug the one with two wires. If the engine idle changes (should drop) thats the plug.
