IGNITION SYSTEM - Continued
Cables
If spark plug cables are removed for any
reason, note the position of each cable on the
distributor and replace each in the same posi-
tion. Connect the cables to the spark plugs
and then to the distributor. Connect the No.1
cylinder spark plug cable to the No. 1 socket
on the distributor cap. Advancing counter-
clockwise on the distributor cap, connect the
next socket with the No.5 spark plug cable;
the next with the No. 3 cable; the next with
the No.6 cable; the next with the No.2 cable;
and the last with the No.4 cable.
Be sure the cable terminals are pushed
all the way into the distributor cap sockets
and that they make good contact, otherwise
a green coating will form in the hole.
•
The ignition cut-out switch cable is at-
tached to the terminal on the distributor hous-
ing.
There should be 1/4 inch minimum clear-
ance between the cables and the cylinder heads.
Maintaining this clearance will prevent short-
ing out the spark plugs and the cables will be
away from the extreme heat of the cylinder
heads. If a cable touches a cylinder head,
heat soon causes the rubber to become soft
and ruins the cable.
Never allow the cables to become oil-
soaked.
