I need to know the firing order for spark plug wires on a 1996 Chevy Cavalier. I tried to take my spark plug wires off one at a time, but more than one came off at a time. It was hard figure out which wire goes where. Please help. Thank you, Gary

See Figures 1 and 2
To avoid confusion, remove and tag the spark plug wires one at a time, for replacement.
If a distributor is not keyed for installation with only one orientation, it could have been removed previously and rewired. The resultant wiring would hold the correct firing order, but could change the relative placement of the plug towers in relation to the engine. For this reason it is imperative that you label all wires before disconnecting any of them. Also, before removal, compare the current wiring with the accompanying illustrations. If the current wiring does not match, make notes to reflect how your engine is wired.
