If it has a smallblock Chevy the firing order is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2.....number one ussuall being one of the front capterminals right behind the carb. start there and go clockwise around the cap. If one plug is off the car will start but run rough...more than that and it wont run.

Acually #1 cyl on the distributor cap , is usally pointed in the general direction of the #1 cyl itself, in that car and most all sb Chevy's excluding the LS generation of GM sb engines, #1 is 1st plug, or cyl, drivers side.

How can you change the speedometer reading on a 93 caprice classic to kmh from mph?

The speedometer should already have klicks on it. Just look for the blue numbers under the white. If you want to change the whole thing I suggest you find a junkyard in Canada that will ship you one. They are pretty easy to switch out.

How do you replace the distributor cap if you didn't mark it when you took it off and the wires are mixed up and distributor cap not numbered on a 1989 Chevy caprice?

Get on the GM website. They provide free restoration and spec sheets for most makes models and years. you'll need your VIN #. Your distributor cap should have numbers molded right into the cap for the wires that corespond with the cylinder #. Your restoration book will provide the cylinder #'s. Simply connect the # on the cap the same cylinder # and you should home free. The restoration kit took about 10 working days to arrive after I ordered it. good luck.
