[babyethan1]

ok!! WOW idk if this is a dumb Q? but ill ask anyway.. I was lookn at the dist cap and i see the placement #'s and letters for the plug wires (I1 E1) ect.. ok my Q? on the cap where it says E1 the plug wire goes to the plug closest to the firewall as if #1 cylinder is at the rear of the engine, and then the firing order is correct counter clockwise on the cap.. Is the #1 cylinder at the rear of the engine or at front?? I reconnected the cap according to the book firing order as #1 being front and it didnt start i put it back and it started again!! it seems to be backwards idk PLEEEEEZE HELP

The #1 cylinder is still the frontmost one. I'm not sure about the dual-plug thing you just described, though. It has been about 5 years since I had my naps-z motor and the details are fading out of memory.
