Something is wrong with these 2 cylinders if when you plug them in the truck shuts off. Look for high resistance on those 2 wires. This is relative to length of wires.

the wires are not reversed but my grandfather said to take the distributor cap off and turn the distributor or distributor cap 180°, I'm not 100% sure which he said, and it very well could start up and run. Any thoughts?
