They go from the distributor cap to the spark plugs.

Attach the wires onto your arms and legs... and one on each ear and eyelid. Then have a buddy crank the engine while you grab the battery ground post.

Elderstarr seriously man you need to try to help out more rather than offering sarcastic comments. Most people come to this forum to get help and people giving the sarcastic comments causes them to not want to use the forum anymore.

Agreed. A little sarcasm is fun, but there is a point.

If we knew what engine was in your truck, maybe someone would be able to help you.

As CHELLIE said above, CHELLIE already helped her out with her 390 wiring in another Thread on another Forum.

CHELLIE is a very great addition to the site, she is very knowledgeable when it comes to trucks and engines.

It works great just make sure to get it all out of the cyl before putting the plugs back in

I also like the adding of 1 qt of ATF to your eng oil to free up stuck hyd lifters, and to quite the valve with, that has always worked for me

here is another little trick to improve your gas milage with, add a little acetone to your gasoline, it helps to vaporize the gas better, 2 oz acetone to 10 gallons, and with that low of a percentage of Acetone, it wont hurt anything, fuel additives have Acetone/Benzene in them works best on carb vehicles,

Picked up a gallon bottle at Menards this afternoon, only $12.47 after tax.

Menards is awesome!!! I went and checked out this stuff at work the other day and one of my friends put it in his '86 3/4 ton...normally it gets like 8 on the highway and now he's saying an average of like 12-13...


B12 Chemtool also has Acetone/Benzene chek out the MSDS Material Safety Data Sheets
