Ok, let me start this by saying that my 351c runs ok, but I have a few "pops" backfiring when letting of the gas. The mystery is that my spark plug wires appear out of firing order! The plug from the #1 labeled spot on the distributor cap goes to the #7 cylinder for instance and the plug from the #1 cylinder goes to the #7 on the distributor. #1 on the distributor is normally on the #1 cylinder correct? So, of course the others are all out of order too. I know the PO put a cam in it, could that be the issue? I did wire it according to the manual, but it sputtered and did not start. Wired is back the funky way and it fired right up??? Please Help, any ideas? Thank you-
