Default firing order

ok, let the name calling begin.
I am an old fart and damned if I can remember my firing order in my 86 L-98. Oh, the car is painted gold and has stock radio if that helps.''' Really guys, I did forget the order, so thanks if you post.

My recollection is that the firing order is molded into the top of the intake manifold just in front of the distributor.

I was never in the military but they say you never forget your serial number the rest of your life. And that firing order is ingrained in my mind just as firmly.
