Ok guys. I have a 1970 SS Chevelle with the original (rebuilt to stock) 396/350 hp motor. The ignition has been converted to an MSD 85551 system (distributor and box) with a MSD 84335 cap and rotor. As my old sparkplug wires got burnt by my headman headers, I am in the process of making new custom wires to replace the old.
Question, a helper pulled my old wires off without marking them but did mark the cap where the #2 wire supposedly went which is on the driver’s side just in front of the cap hold down screw. In looking at my old Chilton’s manual for year and model it shows the number #2 terminal on the cap is behind the cap screw not in front of. Any idea which would be the proper #2 location? I do not wish to cut and replace the wires only to find I am 1 digit off and most likely cause a misfire.
