305 plugs and wire.

meh, just trying to help the guy out with what I thought was the most usable advice..
 
wasn't saying they weren't smart enough... I was saying for someone who does it infrequently the safer/foolproof way is to do one at a time...

I turn wrenches for a living, I don't know that I've ever replaced a set of wires without doing them one at a time. I've never bothered to memorize any firing orders, either.
 
I still do it that way about 1/2 the time in the boats.... just kinda depends on my mood I suppose.. sometimes I'll do #1, than rip all the others off and do them..

obviously stabbing a dizzy, etc is a different story...

and as a marine guy, I also have to watch out as I also deal with reverse rotation motors occasionally...

My first job turning wrenches was for one of the local Skipper Buds. And as a marine guy you are only dealing with a few motors and that prolly makes life easier. Working on cars at a corner garage, there is common stuff, but nothing like in the inboard marine world.
 
yup, when it comes to gas inboards, 99.8% of stuff is sb and bb cheb... I probably have 200 chevy mills in singles and pairs in my marina...

20 yr's ago, you would see the occasional 318, or a sb furd in a ski boat... not anymore, that sh*t's all pretty much long gone.... I haven't seen a boat with a 318 in prolly 4 or 5 yr's now...

and yeah, whole different ballgame working on every motor under the sun at a local gas station type gig...
