Sounds like you have a High Output, Non-Roller Cam, which uses the firing order 13726548.
as far as I know If your engine is a 83 model 302 the firing should be 15426378 with plug going in counter clock wise motion on the distributor.IS the coil good?make sure the timing is not out 180 deg. Good luck.
Some engine blocks have the firing order stamped close to the top front of the block, others do not. An online search will show the correct firing order for a specific engine.
Timing would depend on the application of the motor. Some 998cc engine would have a higher compression than others and this would determine what the ignition timing should be. Normally it would be between 4 and 12 degrees BTDC. The firing order is easier. It's 1 - 3 -4 -2 Clylinder 1 is at the front (fan) end of the engine.
Imbalance, one piston not firing among others
There is no standard collective noun for a group of 'others'.
As viewed from the top of the motor with the c/l of the engine being at 12 o'clock, the first position on the driver side at about 11 o'clock is number one. The others follow around in a clockwise direction as viewed from the top.
Answerwhen standing beside the car look at the top of the engine , follow the black cover down to the bottom side and you will see a silver bar that runs the length of the top of the engine. connected to the underside of that bar you will see orange injectors going into the engine and between each of them you will see a round black apparatus. Connected to those apparatuses ( coils ) are electrical connectors under the coils you will see a short rubber boot. That boot is connected to the top of the spark plug. This system is called coil on plug. It allows the engine to control the firing of the cylinder independently of the others. Your engine will go into a safe mode if you were to run low on coolant and begin to overheat. one half of the cylinders loose spark and the cylinders act as an air pump to remove heat from the engine. This is a standard system on the 2000 and newer 4.6L engine. Its not an option its standard and you can read about the system in the owners manual.

You're saying that ( 1 - 5 - 4 - 2 - 6 - 3 - 7 - 8 ) doesn't work ? The distributor rotor turns COUNTERCLOCKWISE The marked # 1 position on the distributor cap faces to the rear and slightly towards the drivers side The engine cylinders / spark plug locations are numbered : firewall 4 - 8 3 - 7 2 - 6 1 - 5 front The firing order for the Ford high output 302 , the 351 and 400 is : ( 1 - 3 - 7 - 2 - 6 - 5 - 4 - 8 ) The distributor rotor turns COUNTERCLOCKWISE etc.
Some speed it up while others slow it down.
