The firing order of a 370 CID Ford engine is: 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8. Cylinder #1 is the front cylinder on the right--passenger--side cylinder head. The right head is numbered 1-2-3-4. The left--driver--side head is numbered 5-6-7-8. The distributor rotates counterclockwise.
How did your 69 wind up with a 370 in it, by the way?
I hope this is of help to you!
