Timing and Firing Orders

Well if you lined up the timing marks properly then it would not matter. The engine would run anyway.

start by removing one wire at a time. Replace it with the closest length matching wire. Do this one wire at a time. What ever you do, don't pull all the spark plug wires at once. You might not install the wires in the correct order. good luck.

1-6-5-4-3-2

I believe that is ( 1 - 5 - 3 - 6 - 2 - 4 ) for a straight 6 cylinder

An engine does not go off-timing all by itself. If the timing chain fails, the engine would usually be too far off to run. If someone forgot to tighten the distributor hold down, the distributor would revolve counterclockwise until it got to a point where the engine would be very low on power.

0 degrees TDC.

1-6-5-4-3-2

Yes ---------------------------------- (until 1994 ) , 1995 and 1996 ( 5.0 L ) 302 v8 engines in the F150 are 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8 In 1997 Ford started using the 4.6 L / 5.4 L V8 engines in the F150

if its an 8 cyl its ,,,, 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2

A cylinder misfire can be a number of things. If you have a coil pack that has more than one coil on it, like a 4pack or a 6pack set up, it could be that that particular coil isn't firing. PUll off the wire on the number 2 cylinder and put a screw driver in it, touching the electrode wire inside, the lean it near a metal component on the engine and have someone turn over the engine like your starting the car, and if you don't see Any spark, and you are sure you are touching the metal wire piece inside the spark plug wire, then the coiil is probably bad. If you get spark, you probably have another issue. One thing I know for sure...... carbon build up around the intake valve or exhaust valve due to a leak in the exhaust, will definitely cause a misfire, and that's gonna cost ya lots to remove the head, get a valve job done, and fix the exhaust leak that caused it. Can also be other things too. Just try the spark test first, and then if you get spark, take your car to a good repair shop. Goood Luck.

firing order should be 1 5 4 2 6 3 7 8

There is no specific single timing for all engines. It depends on the use to which it is put and the manufacturers specifications to suit that use.

You need to check the manual for the specifics.

1-6-5-4-3-2

1-3-4-2

A back order is an order which cannot be currently filed or shipped, but is requested for when the item becomes available.

1-6-5-4-3-2

1-5-3-6-2-4 [from my Jeep manual... I own an '84 also].

No,you don't have to strip the engine down to get TDC.Trace spark plug # 1 wire to the distributor.Use a black marker to mark the metal housing right under the cap of # 1.It is the very first one on the driver's side.On your harmonic balancer,there is a line that must be aligned with the "0" on your timing tab.That tab is located on the timing chain cover,above the balancer.Or on the right side of the chain cover. pull the cap off the distributor.Is the brass lip on the rotor pointing at the black mark on the housing?If not,it's not at TDC.Pull the distributor up,leaving the balancer at "0".Turn the rotor until the brass lip alignes with the mark on the housing.Put the distributor back down in the engine.Leave the hold-down clamp just loose enough to advance or retard the timing.Put cap and all wires back on and start the engine.If engine backfires through the carb,timing is 180 degrees off.Reset the engine back to "0" on the timing tab.Remove the cap again.The rotor with the brass lip should be pointing in the 9 or 10 o'clock position.Pull the distributor back up leaving the balancer at "0".Spin the rotor until the brass lip alignes with the mark on the housing.put the distributor back down in the engine.Put the hold-down,cap,and all wires back on.Now the engine is at TDC and should start.

No.

10 degrees btdc with spout connector unplugged.

You just turn the whole distributor loosen both bolts and turn slightly when the car is running.
