    Which plug goes where?

    Hey guys, just got done replacing a blown headgasket, and have no idea where these go. One is a spark generator and other Is crank position sensor cable, problem is both go into eachothers ports and neither are marked. Help?? :)

    The Bentley method is to just plug them in randomly and if it works, you got it right. If not, switch em.

      I think the wires are meant to come up from the bottom
