If the engine is balking or kicking back while you are cranking it over, chances are you may still have gotten the wires on the cap wrong. You may have the correct order but started in the wrong spot.
Take a drinking straw and put it into the #1 plug hole (don't let it fall in) and rotate the engine by hand 'till the timing mark on the front pulley lines up with the "0" on the timing scale and the straw is at it's highest position. Look at the rotor. it should be pointing roughly at the R/F headlight. Mark the position with a crayon etc on the outside of the housing and replace the cap. That is the #1 plug wire position...the remainder of the wires are installed in the same direction the rotor turns...153624 or 18436572 (if 8cyl). If the rotor points 180 degrees away from where I said, turn the engine one more revolution.
