use the 5.0ho or 351w firing order if you already made the mistake
Look for the hole into which the distributor is to go, assuming that it is a bare block you're talking about: the distributor goes up front. jb
Maybe the coil pack don't know what hole you are talking about
I don't know if this is true forsure, but I found a wiki answer that said it was behind the distributor cap. Because I bought an 89 accord that the cord is under the hood and it is not plugged into the block. I am having trouble finding it though because I have a feeling I may have to remove the distributor cap to see where the plug goes and install it. I also called the Honda dealer in my area and they said that it is either behind the distributor cap or by the oil filter.
Look at the spark plugs-- if one has no wire at the top, that is the problem- there should be a wire from each spark plug to the distributor cap.
her is a link to a diagram, http://www.hotrodders.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=17192, that should be all you need to know about that.
Number 1 plug position will be listed on the cap. Now if you know the firing order, and you know the direction the distributor is turning, you then will know plug positions as connected to the distributor cap.
You will have no spark from the distributor.You will have no spark from the distributor.
Standing in front of the vehicle with the hood open #1 would be at the 5:00 position on the distributor cap. From there clockwise it goes 1, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2.
Unplug the wires going into the distributor cap, be sure you know which wire goes to which terminal or your car will not start if they are wrong. Remove the 3 bolts that hold the plastic cap to the metal distributor. Put the new cap back on, replace the bolts, and plug the wires into the appropriate terminal.
You need to know the firing order and distributor direction. Go to your local parts store and ask them to look it up for you. If they won't help you go to a different store. Good luck.
Need to know what year and engine size. Some engines do not use a distributor.
I don't know what your specific problem is, but there is no distributor cap.
