I believe the firing order is still 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 on those V8 engines. (Check it out though to be sure).
Using a compression gauge, bring the number 1 cylinder to top dead centre of the compression stroke. Now remove the distributor cap, and note where the rotor is pointing. put the cap back on and align it so that the number 1 plug wire on the distributor is. Cylinder 1 is ready to fire, so set the rest of your spark plug wires on the cap according to the firing order.
and i wasn't too confusing.

How do you install 1979 Ford 351m distributor?
I'm putting a distributor in my 79 ford 351 modified 400 351 crank but 400 big block .. i know it is off of time and the timing chain is still good .. but how do i time the 1st cylinder with the distributor . how do i get it firing in order ? The firing order of the 351 Cleveland, 351 Windsor, and 400 are all the same at 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8 Rotor turns counterclockwise. Get the #1 piston, which is the piston on the front of the engine passenger side, at top dead center, (TDC) on the compression stroke. Turn the rotor on the distributor to the #1 spark plug on the distributor cap and insert the distributor into the engine. Time the engine with a timing light.
