Firing order

[ramman7284]

I'm just curious on what the firing order is on a big block I work at a transmission shop and when I work on engines I deal with small blocks

sb and BB are the same, just opposite rotation on the cap

Hmmm that's weird cuz I think I seen something a few months ago showing that they were diff

well they are wrong

ALL mopar V8's are
1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2

Same 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 just reverse rotation

Even if you take the "traditional" Ferd firing order, IE the old 353-36-390, etc, and 289-302, that firing order, when renumbered to reflect GM/ Chrysler cylinder numbering, still has the same firing order. (No1 on Mopar is no5 on Ford, etc

In fact, if you made a timing mark on a Ford using the Mopar no 1 cylinder, you could "think" Mopar when wiring it up!!

Well ill have to keep that in mind I'd rather take this advice from old mopar guys than lookin it up from a book
