Firing Order

Post by Boatchick »

My husband is working on the motors now and he wanted me to hop on and see if anyone could help him figure out the firing order of the spark plugs on the engines.

18436572-normal rotation. 12756348 counter rotation. The distributor turns counter clockwise for both rotations. The timing gear set up oppose to chain, keeps it this way...

Find top dead center and go from there.
