To determine the correct placement of the plug wires on the distributor cap for a 1973 Charger SE with a 318 engine, first identify the firing order, which is typically 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 for this engine. Locate the number one cylinder, usually found at the front of the engine on the driver's side, and align the distributor cap's terminal that corresponds to it. Following the firing order, connect the wires clockwise around the cap in the correct sequence. Consulting a repair manual or an online resource specific to your vehicle can also provide valuable guidance.
