firing order reference & doubles as garage art

I thought this could be useful to somebody else too..

 

They should hire a proofreader. I don't know about the others, but they have flathead firing order wrong.

Should be 1-5-4-8-6-3-7-2, not 1-5-8-6-3-3-7-2. You'd think someone might've noticed no 4th cylinder.

 

must be 2 plugs on #3 cylinder

 

The Ford flathead firing order is wrong......

 

Yeah, flatheads need all the help they can get..........


Thanks for posting...made a copy!

Firing Order Really Different

Thats MSD s handy work.

I believe there's some service manual with another misprint in the firing order

 

Y block dizzy is in the back...WTF!?!

 

That is true art. Only we get it.

I've never had to "Red Mark" a Vango though. The Flathead Ford's a big one here.

I'm still gonna hang it up Red Marked & all. Thanks Vicky

 

272 thru 312 Y Blocks all had the distrubutors in the back,,,didn't they?

 

Well if MSD can't get it right The HAMB sure will

 

OK! 2 - Red Marks:

1 - Flathead Ford Firing Order is as follows 1-5-4-8-6-3-7-2

2 - Y-Block Distributor is located on the rear of the block

 

It's art with character. Kind of like some of our cars. It's still art.

 

I run a single cylinder Weslake motor. I've never had a problem with the firing order. Mine is 1.

 

Better?

 

Funny I saw this post this morning and thought, I'll just wait till later today when someone fixes it.

thanks Probesport!

 

awesome, thanks for fixing it!

 

See I knew it would happen
You're the best man thanks

 

Small block Chrysler is CW not CCW....

 

Beat me to it! Thanks.

I'm going to enlarge it at work and laminate it for the wall.

 

My turn. With corrected Mopar small block distributor rotation, Y Block distributor placement, flathead firing order and Buick Nailhead distributor placement:

 

My nailhead has the dizzy in the back of the block??!?

 

A 354 HEMI has the distributor in the back.Bob

 

Yeah. It looks like they skipped the early Hemis altogether.

 

Ha, the original and corrected next to each other should make a great "what's different" picture puzzle for the msd guys.

 

Still wundering where they hide the distributor on the LS ... must be majik!

 

The early Hemis can be listed with the SB Chrysler. Same position, same rotation, same order.

At one point, I had a LOT of these memorized.
St. 4 = 1-3-4-2 except the english Ford 1.6 and a 60s-early 70s Toyota 1-2-4-3
st. 6 = 1-5-3-6-2-4
V6s are all over.


The tough one was the non-trad Jag V12.
A bank and B bank, not 1-12.

 

Just thought I would connect these two threads....

 

And what do you have that out run a flathead at 7.72 seconds in a quarter mile at 175 MPH?

 

Well I just wasted two sheets of paper printing two wrong pages.
I just hope that someone else doesn't correct the missing four cylinders on the VW.

 

Flathead Distributor rotation is Clockwise! Pete
