God, Guts and Guns made America and God, Guts and Guns will preserve it! The worst thing you could do is get into my sights, but that don't matter, you'll never know it, cause you'll never hear the shotJim or Paladin whichever you choose.

Re: Firing order

Pull the sparkplug out of the #1 cylinder. Hold you finger over the hole while you have someone "bump" the engine over slowly. (or you can turn it by hand from the crank bolt) When you feel the pressure pushing against your finger stop. Then turn the engine by hand until the timing mark lines up on the balancer. Be sure the key is turned off, then take the cap off of the distributor. Your rotor is now pointed toward the #1 terminal. Start your plug wires from there...as James McClure said 18436572

Bad planning on your part does not necessarily constitute an instant emergency on my part....

The great thing about being a pessimist is that you are either pleasantly surprised or right.

Re: Firing order

I agree with Longhair on this.
Also more times than not you will find that the rotor will be pointing at the #1 cylinder (Drivers side front) on the engine

Your Cylinders are located 1-3-5-7 on the drivers side front to rear and 2-4-6-8 front to rear on the passengers side.
