Default Need help
I have a 1991 f150 it was running decent, so I decided to change the spark plugs, wires, and the distributor cap. Now when I go to start it the engine spins really fast and back fires. If you know what's wrong I need help. Thank you.

Sounds like you didn't wire the plugs up right.
