So just to verify, on Pontiacs #1 is forward drivers side and you put the plugs on in firing order counter clockwise? I don't have a vacuum guage, just pressure guage. I will pick one up tomorrow. As far as tachometer I have the hood mounted one obviously. My timing gun has one and this fancy Dancy automotive multimeter that I just picked up and haven't figured out everything it does has one. Ugh, this is so f ing frustrating. I'm gonna take all the plugs out tonight and start over again. Probably stupid question since I keep the battery fully charged and it's practically brand new. Is 600 cca enough? This is hiw frustrated I'm getting, I'm questioning everything, lol.
