Spark plug wiring and firing order diagrams for a 1982 Chevy el Camino v6 3.8L vin#1.

There's a website that has all this information about all this and manuals everything totally free there are many actually but I personally like few like reliable-store .. let me know if u need help
thanks

Wow, quite an undertaking. I had an '81 El Camino and wish I had never sold it. Originally it had a 267 c.i. V-8 with a Rochester 2bbl carb. I put in a Chevy 350 4-bolt main crate engine, Edelbrock intake and carb, and Hedmann headers (it ran like a scalded dog LOL). My advice is to look for a Haynes manual covering the '71 model year. They have complete wiring diagrams in their manuals, but the wire routing will be up to you. Good luck.

It can be faulty or dirty spark plug itselfd.Also for reference get the fuel level checked.Is the fuel tank is empty or near to empty.
Try cleaning the spark plugs and then see if that is helpin.On some cases the black carbon layer gets collected on the spark plugs and that causes the problem,so cleaning the plugs help.But if its not helping,then spark plug has to be replaced.Spark plugs get power from ignition coil to ignite sparks.If ignitioncoils are faulty then also there will no spark.--------------

These details will help.

Thanks.

the parts store or the chevy dealer with a service center can print one out for you

Hi, the firing order is ( 1 - 3 - 7 - 2 - 6 - 5 - 4 - 8 )

The distributor rotor turns COUNTERCLOCKWISE
The marked # 1 position on the distributor cap faces to the REAR and slightly towards the drivers side, the engine cylinders spark plug locations are numbered.





The wiring diagram....

On the elcamino thats back firing after being tuned up,you may have accidently crossed a wire ,I'd check that first.Firing order is clock wise 18436572, 1357 are on drivers side starting at front of engine and 2468 are on passenger side starting at front of engine.Hope this helps.

firing order is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 rotation is clockwise

the library has books you can look at (haynes, and chilton manuals) or if you want to buy a book you can go to the auto parts store and buy one. they will have the information you are seeking

The easiest way to accomplish that is to buy a wiring harness from painless wiring.They have a kit that's designed to fit your vehicle,You can order one from your local speed shop or www.jegs.com We have installed these kits at our shop and they have made it so simple to install,it even comes with a new updated fuse panel.

Are you needing advice, links, tricks, or all of the above?
If it's advice you want:
If you are not buying an after market harness and all of the oem wiring is intact replace one wire at a time from the component all the way back to the fuse box. Its tedious but, it's a sure fire way to get it right the first time.

Secondly, I'd by a haynes manual or some other wiring diagram. Study it for at least a couple weeks or until you are completely comfortable taking on the task.

Color code your wires and label both the old and new ones with paper tape and a permanent marker so that you know what each one is for.

Last but not least, make sure that the battery is disconnected... ;o)
