I assume that you mean, "2.3 liter engine," because 23 liters is pretty big, and Ford never made one that size. The firing order is 1-3-4-2, and cylinder number 1 is the one on the end where the drive belts for the alternator, etc., are; cylinder number 4 is closest to the transmission or output end of the engine. Two and three are, naturally, in order between one and four. Ignition timing is dependent upon a lot of factors, all related to engine/application questions. An initial timing of approximately five degrees before top dead center will get the engine running; you can get better specifications from a shop manual for your particular application. If it is for an automobile in the United States, Europe, Australia, or Japan, there should be a sticker under the hood which gives the tune-up specifications.

Where is the 1 plug on a 2.8L 1993 GMC Sonoma?

Not Sure What You Are Asking. The Number One Plug Is The First Cylinder On Your Right From Front Of Engine. But Are You Wanting To Know Where Number One Is In The Cap ? The Firing Order Should Be 1-2-3-4-5-6 if you have a 2.8 I`m Pretty Sure Of This. To Actually Find The Position Of The Number One In The Cap You Will Need To Get The Engine On #1 Firing Stroke or TDC. Then Look At Position Of Rotor It Will Be Pointing Toward Position Of Number One. Hope This Helps

What does a mechanism change?

Well first of all it changes position and speed and friction. Mechanical parts on an engine are based on timing of the blocks. the firing order has to be in a very exact timing to be able to push and push the block sections with enough force to speed up the car.
