leading plugs vs trailing
obvious answer for most people, I just want to double check.... which are the trailing and which are the leading? also, which pickup on the distributor is for which one? I am really starting to think that the guy who had my car before me had them switched

Thats the same way it was on both of the FB's i bought.
The first one had a weird idling noise, i looked and thought "Those wires look wrong" switched em on a wild hair, and viola... it idles better now!

so I did hook up the DLIDFIS to the right pickup... glad I was too lazy to go out and change it tonight, lol
now I just have to figure out the fuel pump and tach
the only wires that were on the trailing coil were the ones coming from the ignitor, all I did was lengthen those and relocate the trailing coil. can't figure out what happened
