I see what you're talking about but that's actually just a part of my wire harness overlapping it's just an Illusion but the wires are brand new also don't call bullshit

Okay, I can work with where this is going. It's more than I have right now because I don't know what caused a brand new plug to do that, but I have a misfire that I can't kill and I can't find. My Jeep thinks it's in cylinder two but that plug was pulled from cylinder one I have a obvious loss of power and questionable compression
So it won't let me upload the video of it running just now but everything looks like it's working right.
I live on the coast, everything here rusts just by looking at the beach..
Last time my gut told me the distributor was the issue, I spent $1500 and entirely too much time only to find out i should have listened to my gut. So, this time, my gut says the same thing. Why? Because this seems to have happened after changing the distributor. Granted, it took it a few days, but I didn't necessarily like way the installation went. I took it out and tried it over and over, following the procedure to a T. Now my distributor has play still, the bolt is tight, it doesn't sound out of time, but I don't believe in coincidence. So taking the detonation comment into account, and the distributor having just been changed and not seeming right, am I on to something here? What can I do to check that? Or just do it all over again til I have no doubts?
Sounds like the time I reinstalled my transmission 7 times after the rebuilders promised they'd fixed the issues.
Damn parts these days are all pure crap.

Your distributor has play ? as in rotates clockwise and counter clockwise ? if so that could be causing timing issues as it moves forward and back. thus burnt electrode.
No, not rotational play, up and down play. And it's not much..not even enough to leak oil but seems off. I have it pulled right now. I have the motor at tdc on the compression stroke of cyclinder 1, but that's not where the rotor is lined up. It's off. It's in the middle of cyclinder 1 and 3. How do I fix that?
