Firing order of all the Gen 1 small-blocks from the 265 cid engine that appeared in 1955 thru the end of that engine family. Big-blocks had the same firing order too.

gen 1, 2, and bbc firing order.
I wonder if rice burners think the 1324 on my license plate is the firing order...

Now how about 18726543?

WW7

Prepare to get asked many many times what it means , because 99% of the people won't have a clue....I would of been one of them......WW

I must be losing my memory but it seems like after adjusting the points thru the door on the distributor and staring at the firing order on the intake manifold so many times 45 plus years ago, wasn't it 18236574?

LannyL81

Did not even finish reading all the numbers before I knew what they were in reference to.
Gave me a smile for the day.

Take care there John.

aDigitalPhantom

Yup you lost your mind.

Midnight 85

That is probably the first thing I memorized when I got my first Chevy. Of course there is a variation used by cam manufacturers that claim more horses can be had by using a cam with 18736542. 4 & 7 are swapped. I have never tried one of those cams.

QCVette

Me too. It is a sequence I can't seem to forget since I used it so many times.

I can remember that, but I can never seem to remember the LS firing order for the C5's or later. (18726543 I had to look it up.)



Nice shirt.

aDigitalPhantom

Here is something useless I wish I could forget IDDQD, but I cant seem to forget it.

I found a site that has a shirt that looks the same, but they want 10 reserved before they will sell any.

sweet- its also the fireing order of most small block mopars- they had to copy GM of course.lol

If you look at the order of firing on the block instead of the different numbering systems , and start with number eight cylinder on the Chevy instead of #One, the order of firing follows the same pattern of order as a small block Ford 260-302. So if your a Ford guy and don't know the firing order of a Chevy, just pretend it's a Ford and the firing order still works. Later when they came out with the 351W they changed the firing order to keep cylinders 1 and 5 from firing in sequence so as to take the torque load off the front main bearing. Learned that from a Ford engineer when I worked at Automotive Research years ago.
