There seem to be there are understood basics about the Model T that EVERYBODY should know! I have a dumb question that I can't seem to find in my manuals, nor online.

I have a 1927 Model T. I need to find the diagram where the spark plug wires are arranged into the distributor cap.

They were in order, counting from the seven o'clock position on the cap, (radiator forward) were set up when I got it beginning at 1,2,3,4. Possibly someone me before set the sequence wrong?

The car will barely run and am getting backfires through the carbs (I have dual Solex carbs) and sometimes through the exhaust. Something is wrong.

But I have seen sequences with a different order.

Where should the proper sequence? I understand the number 1 cylinder is forward of the radiator.
