`84 Chevy Caprice Spark plugs...?

My friend had the roder and spark plugs changed about a week ago, and now the car isn't working at all - We fixed most of it, but now the mechanic says it's losing power quickly, probably because the spark plugs aren't connected to the roder correctly.



What I'm trying to find out is how do I find out if each wire connected to the spark plug is correctly connected to the roder...? I'm not sure at all.`84 Chevy Caprice Spark plugs...?
First of all its called the rotor. if you changed the rotor you also should have changed the cap since the rotor is under the cap. make sure the timing order is correct. 1 cylinder is marked on the cap and the is the front spark plug on the driver side. the firing order is 1 8 4 3 6 5 7 2. the rotor spins in a clockwise manner. so the next plug to fire is 8 which is far rear plug on passenger side. so the right side is odd 1357 and the left is 2468. it is common when doing what you did to sometimes get the order wrong when reasembling the parts. make sure the plugs are also in tight and not crossthreaded. this is tough on the left side if you have airconditioning so take your time. then last the plug wire connection will snap into place when it is a good connection.hope this helps. also a chilton maual will help it has pictures of what youre trying to figure out. its only about 10 bucks.`84 Chevy Caprice Spark plugs...?
just push on the wires down on the DISTRIBUTOR CAP and push in, on the SPARK PLUG WIRES. if you are loosing power, check to be sure that the vacuum hose is connected to the air cleaner snorkel. there is a valve in there,and if it is closed, the engine will starve it self for air,and gradually loose all it power.
