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.
