  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    And the #1 plug wire goes on the first tower clockwise of the point adjustment window, then follow the firing order clockwise.

    The left cylinder bank is at the left side when you are sitting in the car.
    I could say driver's side, but since there are also RHD Buicks..... :cool:

    Cylinder #1 is on the left, closest to the radiator.

    An easier way to tell is that on our V-8 engines, one bank of cylinders is mounted to the block slightly ahead of the other bank. The most forward cylinder is always #1. The cylinders are actually numbered by their attachment to the crank, front to rear of the engine.

    Yes, but nobody explained this to the thread starter.
    So I tried to tell him what's left and right :TU:

    Yes Keith, that's right...... you are wrong.

    Think about engines like the Buick Nailhead, Cadillac engines (including the Northstar) or the Gen. V Chevrolet engines :TU:
