I'm trying to start the 351W mystery motor that came out of a rolled EB. I hooked up the spark plug wires according to the book (1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8). When I turn it over, it fires erratically, about every half second (it's loud with just the headers!). I went back and looked at photos from the rolled bronco (see attached) and it looks like they had the wires at the distributor cap 180 off from where the book shows.
I'm going to try hooking it up like this and see if it works. It should since I haven't removed/rotated the distributor at all? How would the wiring get off 180 degrees like this? Is it a problem?
