Truck just had new wires distributer cap & plugs
Now it won't start
everything seems to be in order, since it was running (with hesitation) before I replaced the distributer cap/wires
Now it won't start...
Have you checked to see if you are getting fire to the plugs. It might be a fuel problem and not a fire problem. Spray some fuel into the engine and see if it starts if you have fire to the plugs. You may also have a control module in the dist gone bad or the pickup coil in the dist could be bad.

I don't know your problems say like that But I can tell you what to do to check it for good. first remove spark plug on cylinder 1 place piston on end of compression timing mark to 0. Now you should have the rotor point to number one cylinder. Find wich way the rotor turn and do firing order 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 that's it
if you know the firing order, then get #1 on TDC, and then take the cap off, the rotor should be pointing forward, thats where number 1 wire should go.
Try a new distributer cap and rotor button,these are notorious for wearing out the carbon pick-ups and leaving carbon tracks in the cap which messes up the fireing order.If that does'nt fix it try plugs and wires.
what is the right wire order?
