stupid mistake - need help
I doubt I'm the first one to do it though. I was changing the spark plug wires and everyone was happy and things went well until cylinder number 3. then I found the new wire for it didn't fit. I checked the firing order and the numbers on the dis. cap but the car still won't run. I should have made a drawing or something before I let my dumbness rub off onto my car. Can anyone tell me the firing order and/or the correct way to rewire the spark plug wires.

Yep... I got it figured out eventually. Thankfully I work for a mercedes mechanic so he knew what I was doing wrong, it was all backwards or some thing but it runs now - nice and smooth

is a German Tank
gapping the plugs can make a HUGE difference, I didn't gap my plugs correctly and I had the hardest time trying to get the damn thing onto the plug...
