Right distributor fires 1-4-6-7, left distributor fires 5-8-3-2. These numbers should be emobssed in the distributor caps. I don't remember which bank is 1-2-3-4 and which bank is 5-6-7-8 but the bank that's slightly forward of the other bank is the 1-2-3-4 bank. I think the right bank is slightly forward of the left bank but double check.

Mel, here's the firing order along with . . . .
engine layout.
Firing order: 1 5 4 8 6 3 7 2 ------------------------------ 4 O O 8 3 O O 7 2 O O 6 1 O O 5 Engine as viewed from front of car No 1 cyclinder is on the LEFT side of the engine and it's the first one when viewed from the front. The distributor caps are marked for each cyclinder but only 'generically'; not with the actual wires that go to each spark plug. Last edited by JimF; 11-05-2004 at 01:40 AM.

JimF - your info is normally impeccable - but I think your engine layout here is backwards on the driver's side. In other words I think cylinder 5 is opposite 1 and cylinder 8 is opposite 4, like so:
4 8 3 7 2 6 1 5 front Anyway I changed my spark plug wires today and that's what I concluded, and the car started right up. Just thought I'd post this for posteritys sake.

called a "senior moment"! I've corrected it. Thanks again. . .
