[Shotimes] Thought I needed a ring gear was...RE: I need a Ring gear

[Paul Nimz]

Hmmm, seems you are right.  I went out and puts some marks on the belts and
cranked.  The marks moved.

This all started when I changed the plugs and wires.  The first time It
would crank as normal but didn't catch.  I had two wires routed wrong.
Fixed that and ever since it sounds different and sounds like there is no
compression.

Any ideas?

The plugs are Motorcraft, the wires are Accel, the plug order is right side
1,2,3 left side 4,6,5
