Hey all, I am getting ready to add the parts for a team rush up-grade to my CJ7 with AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l in-line 6. The engine runs fine but does bog down when I step on the gas a little too much. First off, I noticed that my spark plug order on the distributor is not the same as most of the pictures I have seen. Most seem to have the #1 cylinder running to the distributor post nearest the passenger front fender. My #1 runs to the post directly closest to the engine (hopefully picture shows this). Did the previous owner not put the distributor in the correct location in relation to the cam or what?
What is the absolute best way to proceed? Should I leave it as is and keep everything in the same order? Thanks in advance for the advice.
