The firing order is usually cast or stamped into the intake manifold depending on what type of car and engine you have. The intake manifold usually sits on top of the engine underneath your carb or injection unit. More information on the year, make, model and engine size would be needed to give you a more specific answer.

First of all....absolutely not an original engine for this year. The last year for the 455 was 1976. Do some research and make sure you are actually getting a 455. The block casting codes are stamped by the distributor and the head casting numbers are on the two center exhaust ports. There are plenty of online sites that will help you decode these numbers.
