Your distributor may or may not be in it's factory position. If you're not sure, take off your distributor cap, and have someone crank the engine for just a second while you plug the number one cylinder spark plug hole with your finger. (cylinder one should be first one on driver's side). As you feel your finger being pushed off by pressure, note the position of the rotor and relate that to the cap, and you will have your #1 cap position. From there, follow your firing order, and if I'm correct your cylinder's should be numbered : driver's side from front 1,3,5,7.

How do you attach a three prong plug wire with a green white and black wire to a shop light with a black wire and white wire?

The green wire is for ground. You can attach that to any metal part of the frame. The red is the active and coincides with the lefthand prong into the plug and the black in this case should be the Neutral and ciocides with the right prong into the plug as seen standing behind the plug.

Plug that wire into the 3rd plug from the front. The next one is 2. Plug that wire into the 2nd plug. The final one is 4. Plug that into the furthest plug.

How do you check an engine for spark?

Remove the spark plug wire from the spark plug. Use some heavy gloves or a set of insulated pliers to hold the spark plug wire about 1/4-inch from the engine block (ground) and crank the engine - you should see a spark jump from the wire to the engine ground. For a better check, use another spark plug and put it on the spark plug wire and use it as a "jumper" from the wire to the engine ground.

You are replacing a 3 wire plug to a 4 wire outlet but the stove is set up for a 3 wire and you have a 4 wire plug to switch over but there is no place for the ground wire to go?

The range 4 wire plug kit should have with it a grounding lug that connects to the frame of the stove. If not buy a small #2 lug and bolt it to the frame of the stove. This is the attachment point for the fourth green ground wire from the new range cord assembly.
