Knowing the firing order of an engine can help with troubleshooting later. The firing order of a Chevrolet ZZ4 Engine is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2.
18436572 clockwise.
The firing order on all small block chevys is 18436572. It should be imorinted on the intake. Trace the number one plug wire back to the dist. It's the one on the left (drivers) side of the engine at the front of the motor. The dist rotates clockwise.
firing order, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Dist rotation, clockwise.
7.5l (460 engine) 15426378, dist. rotation is counter clockwise,
1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 clockwise on dist. cap.
the firing order 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2. okay this is the way i set mines. on the dist. the number 1 plug terminal (should be facing the cyl. bore number one) then from there go clockwise in the firing order. another way is to look at the dist rotor when the number 1 cyl. is in top dead center(be careful there are two top dead centers for ever dist. rotation). when you have the right top dead center then go by the dist. rotor to which every dist. plug terminal the dist. rotor points to, that would be number one plug wire then go clockwise in firing order.
1-6-5-4-3-2
It is 1-3-4-2 and the dist turns counterclockwise and #1 is on the pass end of the engine.
What is the firing order of a 1983 Jaguar XJ6 dist. cap order. Its 1,5,3,6,2,4 if my memory works.
By asking another question and listing the year, make, model, and engine size this time you ask this question. You will then get an answer.
1,8,4,3,6,5,7,2# 1 WILL BE RELITIVE TO THE POSITION OF THE DIST. TYPICALY IT WILL BE THE TERMINAL ON THE FRONT RIGHT LOOKING AT THE ENGINE FROM THE FRONT, BUT IF THE OIL PUMP DRIVE SHAFT HAS BEEN ROTATED IN THE BLOCK INADVERTANTLY IN THE COURSE OF PULLING THE DIST. IT CAN BE ANYWHERE. IF THE ENGINE BACKFIRES THROUGH THE CARB. AND THE DIST. HAS BEEN REMOVED THEN ROTATE THE DIST SHAFT (ROTOR) 180 DEGREES.
1-6-2-4-3-5 its is a counter clockwise firing dist.
