Ah, it makes sense now. Years ago in my ignorant youth, I put in a good,
used universal-case engine in my first fastback, and was perplexed why
it wouldn't start. I now remember moving the wires around 90 degrees to
accommodate this.

I now remember reading on this list that timing on #3 is slightly
different to accommodate the fact that this cylinder gets hotter. I'm
remembering that right?
