I have a 1971 Chrylser outboard motor. Model 557HC serial 3188. Can anyone tell me what wire goes to what plug? Top to top, bottom to bottom or crossed, top wire to bottom plug and bottom wire to top plug?

Re: Sparkplug wire order

There are 2 types of ignition systems Prestolite and Magna power.
Prestolite number one coil has a white primary wire,2 has an orange primary wire. Magna power 1 has brown/white primary wire,2 has orange/brown primary wire.I can't tell you which cyl is number one I would guess top. Top is used to time the ignition.
