Firing order is indeed 1-3-4-2. The distributor rotates counter clockwise. If you remove the plugs and turn the engine over until the # 1 plug is at top dead center, (TDC) on the compression stroke, the rotor, (If equipped) will be pointing to the # 1 spark plug. This is assuming the distributor has not been removed. Here is a diagram that may also help you. http://autorepair.about.com/library/firing_orders/bl-fo-9256.htm
You losen the bolt were the distributor goes into the engine and twist the distributor little by little until its firing good, you have rev it up to tell.
basically yeah, it is made to have a little slack though. your engine should vibrate evenly, if its vibrating erratically, then you might have a broken frame (doubtful) or a broken mount, or possibly timing or firing issue.
That would depend on what size engine you have : The 4.9 liter ( 300 cubic inch ) straight 6 cylinder The 5.0 liter ( 302 cubic inch ) V8 , or The 5.8 liter ( 351 cubic inch ) V8 each engine has a different firing order , a little more information please
FACING THE DISTRIBUTOR WITH THE LITTLE DOOR TOWARD YOU, NUMBER ONE IS THE FIRST TERMINAL TO THE LEFT. THE FIRING ORDER IS 18436572 GOING IN A CLOCKWISE DIRECTION
Please edit this question so that it makes a little more sense -- who is confused about what and what are you trying to learn?
The Little Engine That Could was created in 1930.
yes I'm also little confused ..

15 different reasons.You should have a check engine lite to start you toward a sloution. The engine computer controls the spark firing system.Engine sensors control the computer. go get a book on your car from your local library and do a little research.
uh, im confused. ok. can one say, you this little twitch? no one can not say 'you this'.

AnswerThe firing order of the early 351W engine is different from the late 351W engines. The early 351W�s firing order is 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8, while the smaller Windsor engine�s firing order is 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8. What makes this interesting is that 289/302 cams are completely interchangeable with 351W cams, providing you match the firing order to the camshaft. If a 289/302 cam is used in a 351W engine, the firing order must be changed to the 302 sequence 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8 by moving the wires on the distributor cap. The same procedure is used if a 351W cam is used in a 289/302W engine where the firing order in the distributor cap must match the camshaft. Not only is the firing order different on the 302- and 351W engines, but Ford also numbers its cylinders differently than GM engines. On the Ford it is 1,2,3,4 on the passenger side starting at front of engine, and 5,6,7,8 on the drivers side.I don't know who gave that "answer", but they must be Chevy people!! The 351Modified is NOT a WINDSOR engine!! It is derived from the 351CLEVELAND and it and its big brother the 400 share nothing with the little Windsor. The firing order for the 351/400M engines is 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8. All the blah blah about 289 cams etc. is totally irrelevant to the question!!
