I don't know the firing order, but also need to know how do I match the wires from the distributor to the plugs? Engine is a 360. Last edited by 68Bullit; 10/27/08 10:47 AM.

How do I check it as far as firing order and the right way the wires go from the distributor to the plugs? small block or big block?

But number one can be anyplace as long as the firing order is followed and number one is located with the number one piston at TDC and in the firing position. 5 & 7 are the easiest to cross as they are next to each other in the capand also in teh firing order..
