"Now when you replace the wires, you want to remember where you got them from. So you know, you just go from the first one, and you go back in the order you took, had taken them off. Sometimes it would help to use a manual, because it does have the firing order listed in the front part of the manual in order to get your spark plug wires placed back on properly. So what you want to do is find a proper place, and then put them back on in the order that you'd taken them off. And make sure when you put them back in, that you get them snug into the housing of the distributor so you don't have it lose any spark. Then you get them properly snug back onto the spark plugs themselves. And make sure that everything is routed correctly so it doesn't get any hung up on anything that will break the material on the spark plug wire. Because once again, you will lose spark and it will cause the car to run badly. So you just reassemble which you, some cars you may have to take off more things than you need to, to get to the spark plug wires. So you just reassemble it how you took it apart. And make sure everything is nice and snug, and that is how you replace your spark plug wires."
