Chrysler Repair: 4-cyl distributor spark wire order, kind reply, plymouth acclaim


Question
I was wondering, in what order does the distributor align with the spark plugs in a standard 1991 4-cylinder Plymouth Acclaim.  My brother-in-law removed the cables, and I do not know to which each one corresponds.

Thank you for your kind reply!

Answer
Hi Paul,
As you look at it from the front of the car ( i.e. from the side of the engine) the #1 wire is at 10:30 and then going clockwise it is #3, then #4, and finally #2. Let me know if this doesn't make sense. I assume that he didn't remove the distributor itself so that the rotor is where it was originally, and that he didn't loosen the retaining bolt on the base of the distributor so the timing was not changed either.
