Yeah, Gordon, I don't get the big deal about firing order. You'd think as long as all the plugs are hooked up to something, it should run pretty good, right?

But seriously, folks. Is there not a little lesson here?

Look how screwed up the timing can be and the engine will still run — if maybe 'a little rough'. Now think how subtle the outward signs might be if all the wires are hooked up right, but the dizzy is missing on a cylinder or two, maybe every third go. Or even less noticeable if the advance is fluttering back and forth around 10 or 15 degrees on random jugs at random times.

Must be dirt in the carbs, right?
