Your local library should have a basic auto manual for older Ford V8s. They are basically the same. Look up "firing order" and there is your answer.Firing order should be counterclockwise 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8 1930fcoupe The firing order for all ford V8's through 1978, except 351, 351W, and 400, is 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8. The Distributor rotates counterclockwise and No 1 cylinder is the first one on the left side as you stand in front of the truck & face the crankshaft pulley. Left bank is 1-4 and right bank is 5-8. Remove the # 1 plug and rotate the engine until #1 plug is at TDC on the compression stroke. Now remove the distributor cap. The rotor will be pointing to the # 1 plug. Hook #1 wire there and then remembering that it rotates counterclockwise continue hooking up the rest.
where can you find a diagram to correct the wires from the distributor to the spark plugs on 95 ford e250?
The distributors have the wire numbers stamped on top. When I changed mine, I happened to clean the crud off, and there they were.

On a car with a distributor: cap, rotor, plugs and wires On a car with coil packs: plugs and wires
The diagram, for the 1992 5.7 liter distributor And wires, can be obtained from most Chevrolet dealerships. The diagram can also be found at most auto-parts stores.
coil, distributor, distributor cap, plugs, or wires.
Check/replace the spark plugs and wires. If you're not going to replace the plugs make sure the gap is correct (should be either .040 or .060) and make sure the plugs are clean of oil or gas. If it still backfires after you replace the plugs/wires check the distributor and the timing.
you have 2of the plug wires on the wrong plugs or distributor cap
It is in the very back of the engine. Just follow the spark plug wires from the spark plugs and they will go to the top of the Distributor. That will be the distributor cap that the wires are in.
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.
it does not have a distributor cap, it has a coil pack, all you can change is the plugs and wires, just fallow the wires from the plugs back to where they end and theres your coil pack, butch
faulty ignition components. you need a tune up. plugs, cap and rotor,and wires but it is usually caused by a bad distributor cap.
