rotates counter clockwise. firing order is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2.
Clockwise
I think # 1 is at the 1 oclock position standing in front of the carand looking at the driver.. It then goes 8436572 in a counter clockwise rotation .
The Older GTO`s Were Counterclockwise. I`m Almost Sure Yours Would Too. To Be Sure Take Off The Dist. Cap & Just Bump It Over & You Can Tell. Good Luck All of the real Pontiac, Buick & Olds V8 engines used a counterclockwise rotating distributor except for the 307 which rotated clockwise.
whichever front cylinder is farther forward, like closer to the radiator is number one # 1 is on the drivers side front cylinder, firing order is 18436572, distributor has counter clockwise rotation.
The firing order is unique to the engine. For example, 400 v8 1975 Pontiac has a firing order 18436572 as do all Pontiac v8s that year. The difference between the v8s is the rotation of the rotor in the distributor. The 400 is counter clockwise and other v8s that year were clockwise. Go to a public library and look at a Motor's repair manual and there is a page with drawings of all the motors and the firing orders of each. All Pontiac v8's have distributors that go counterclockwise, Pontiac did this so that when you accelerate the distributor gear wouldn't be on the load side of the cam and it wouldn't affect the timing.
