Firing Order: Specifications

The engine's firing order is 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8. Cylinders are numbered 1-4 on the right side, starting with the front, and 5-8 on the left side, ending with the rear.

Because of the unique dual level rotor used by the EEC-III ignition system, the engine's firing order cannot be read off the top of the distributor cap. The numbers cast on the distributor cap are cylinder identification numbers only. To install the spark plug wires, follow the cylinder numbers on the inside row on the cap.
