This design may seem odd to those who are familiar with Chevy engines, but this is the true firing order and cylinder layout for all 2.8L V6 (173 CI) Chevy engines.
Simply Check the INTAKE MANIFOLD.. the firing order is embossed on it near the throttle body

What is the firing order on a 1985 Chevy Monte Carlo with a 4.3 6 cylinder
The firing order is: 1 2 3 4 5 6
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, clockwise. Sorry but it is counter clockwise
whats the firing order for a 1885 Chevy 350 v8 I am not sure why someone answered the question with the above answer but the firing order on all Chevy V8 engines in the 80's was 18436572.
The firing order should be embosed on the intake manifold. On the top of it close to the front of the engine viewable just by looking at it from above.
1, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2.
Believe it or not, if you have the 2.8 Liter V6 engine, the firng order ACTUALLY IS 1-2-3-4-5-6. Yes, I know it sounds phoney, but it really is. I've enver seen that firing order before, either. Good luck!
