Chiltons Has The Wrong Spark Plug Layout!!!

[BlackOnBlackATX]

just an FYI for anyone who doesnt know yet. i did my upper 60k today and when replacing the wires i followed the diagram in my chiltons. the car ran like crap so i pulled the intake and valve covers off again to make sure i didnt throw a shim. then it still ran like crap. pulled them off again to make sure i put them on right. still ran like crap. got some berrymans b12 in my eye (yes i really did) and then came here to look for the plugwire diagram. got the correct one here and now the car runs fine. 2 hours wasted when i should have just looked on here

so i hope someone reads this and doesnt make my same mistake.

Yup, that's been a known problem for a few years... cuss Odd thing is, it's correct in another part of the book, so depending on which you use, you have a 50/50 chance of getting the right (or wrong) order...

Beth, maybe this would be a good item to add to the forum how-to's, here's the picture if you want to save it:
