I degreased my engine compartment yesterday. Oh the gunk that came off! 
While it looks great, the car did not start afterwards. I used the leaf blower to "blow dry" the engine and compartment pretty well, but no joy.
Help! Wiring questions:
1. The spark plugs / pistons are 1/2/3/4 going front to rear from Olio, correct?
2. Starting at the top left of the four plug inputs on the distributor cap and going clockwise, what is the firing order?
3. I found one loose wire from the coil. See blue tape in pic:
4. I suspect that the orange wire might have been crimped together with this one. See other blue taped wire with crimp end:
I currently have no spark, so it's an electrical issue. If I can confirm that the plug wires did not get crossed, and perhaps run a replacement wire off that coil (no splice) I think this will get solved.
Thanks for any help! Dickson
