Trying to pick up my project afetr 3 years . Well happy face actually. Have no idea where I ended or where to start.

So desided to finish my engine.

I notice that my fire order or labeling is not correct on the distributor

the fire order I see is 15426378 for my 454. Any thoughts on that. Also any advice on restarting a project is welcome.

?? Are you installing a Ford engine?

Firing order is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2

The firing order is cast into the intake manifold; it is not included on the distributor label. Either the number on that dizzy is a Part Number, or you have a rather unusual, 9 cylinder engine in your car.

Sadly Charlie, and as bad as I hate to admit that I know it.. That is the ford v8 firing order..

so i just pull the plug wires, and refit them accordingly. Thought I went mental, with the labeling, seems bubba struck agian .

I was beginning to think I was the only one that recognized it.

In that case, I don't think the Ford dizzy will mesh correctly with the SBC cam. Or, if it did, the OP would have to put anti-rejection drugs in the engine oil to keep it alive.

Will need more than drugs, the oil pump drive on a ford is a hex

At least on my 390 it is

I know all about a hex.. Had some gal in Louisianian put one on a old girlfriend years ago.. They ain't nothing to mess around with....... Okay back under the chair for me.
