Should just "snap" in
the firing order is cast in to the intake manifold
It is in the very back of the engine. Just follow a plug wire from the spark plug to the distributor cap. It is hard to see. All the plug wires start at the distributor and then hook to each plug.
To set distributor timing on a VS 96 Golf 2.0, hook the timing gun up to the power. Ground the terminals on the battery and hook the sensor that accompanies the timing gun to the number one cylinder spark plug wire.
Depends on the make/model/year vehicle.. depends on who set the distributor. easier again shortest lead to nearest plug ....second shortest to second plug and so on
you need to hook it up on the distributor
A 1995 Dodge Ram is OBD one, not two. The connector is a different shape and is under the hood.
There should be a vacuum source on the carb above the throttle body that gives spark ported vacuum. You can connect a tube from this source to the distributor.
You would hook to the negative side of the coil. Some HEI distributor caps are marked "tach".
If it is a point type distributor you will want to hook it to constant vacuum...somewhere on a port in the base plate. If it's HEI you'll want to hook it to one in the carb body. Something that has no vacuum at idle but pulls vacuum as you give it throttle.
To see if a coil is bad in a 2012 3.6 Dodge Journey; take the spark plug out, hook it up to the spark plug wire and try and roll over the motor by starting it. If there is no spark it is bad, if there is spark you are fine. Or you can take it to a Auto Parts Store and have it tested. Remember; if you replace one coil, replace them all. Otherwise you will burn all of them up with one coil burning hotter than the others.
Need to check coil wire, coil, The most common thing that does this is the ingnetion Module in the distributor. It bolts inside the Dist. and that is what the electric wires on the side of Dist. hook to. I think the module will fix your problem.
