Re: 89 omc cobra 5.0 and 5.0 HO firing order
Chris,<br /><br />I must be dense but I can't figure out how you mapped numbers onto spark plugs. ( got the 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8 order and that number 1 on the distributor is at about 7 O'clock) but I can't follow your cylinder numbering.<br /><br />Do I have this right for a Ford 302 (circa ''79)?<br /><br />Facing the water pump (facing aft,) #1 is nearest left (Foremost Stbd,) then #2 is nearest right (Foremost Port,) and continuing with the odds on the left (Stbd) and the evens on the right (Port) so it looks like:<br />---Fwd<br />--Pulley<br />2-----------1<br />4-----------3<br />6-----------5<br />8-----------7<br />Flywheel<br />----Aft<br /><br />and the number 1 is at 7 O'clock on the distributor, looking down from the Fwd end. or:<br />---- Fwd<br />------ 8<br />--- 7--- 1<br />- 6------- 2<br />--- 5--- 3<br />------ 4<br />----- Aft<br /><br />So, if I got that part right, from the point of view of the distributor, the wires go in this order:<br />--- Fwd<br />-- Pulley<br />4-----------1<br />7-----------2<br />5-----------6<br />8-----------3<br />Flywheel<br />--- Aft<br /><br />Is this right?<br /><br />What about other Ford based engines, do they use the scheme ????
