Here is drawing from info I received here. Simply informative. I hope someone posts an incorrection if there is one!

The drawings with #1 rod behind #5 in the threads that follow are incorrect. The one in this post is correct.

This is great information, and your effort is appreciated.


Thank you.

No Problem, my pc has been a hobby lately. One last note... Only #7 and #8 cylinder are like gm, there is slight difference elsewhere.:wacko:

hi bgd73, does this work like my 94' E500? do not know how to reconnect plug wire from passenger side to driver distributor cap or vice versa? help. thanx ph7.

1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8 is also the non-HO Ford firing order for the 302. The 351W and HO were 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8 :D

FWIW

Small Block Chevy is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2. And while your's is numbered down one side and then the other (as is a ford), a chevy is numbered according to rod order on the crank, meaning one bank is 1-3-5-7 and the other is 2-4-6-8.

And a Buick 3.8L V6 is 153624 15 too young, 36 too old 24 just right is how we used to remember it. :P

This is repost due to some errors I found in my drawing. This one is correct, doubt free. (should be same as my first post)
