Default Need firing order pictures!!

Anybody know where I can find some pictures on the net of the firing order for the plug wires on the distributor? And am I mistaken thinking the cylinders are numbered like this

8 7
6 5
4 3
2 1
Front of engine

Sorry, I'm a Ford kid...

That is correct, the firing order is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2.

Hi , yes your assumption is correct as to which on the motor is #1 etc. but aas far as where it is on the cap the only way you can be positive is to pull the dist. out and start from square 1. Unless of course you know for certain that the dist. has never been out Good luck Peace,,,,,,,,,Craig

The cylinder numbering (wiring sequence) is clockwise around the distributor cap.
