Firing order
I have 1976 F-150 - 460 engine. Stamped timing order on the intake is 15426378. Using this timing order,the truck backfires through carb.
Distributor rotation is counterclockwise and the cylinder numbering I use is 1-4 on passenger side 5-8 on drivers. I have set the order at 15437268 and it runs fine...Any ideas??

Firing order
Mil1ion....Not to be cute....but he did say the firing order was on the intake manifold of his motor????
I would suggest you rotate the crankshaft around to the timing marks line up....you may need to rotate it one more turn to get the pointer to point at #1....or where #1 is actually located....then check to see if that is actually #1 plug wire. Someone in the past may have pulled the distributor out of the motor and not put it back so the pointer aligns with the #1 on the distributor cap.

Firing order
This may be a stupid question, but I thought that cylinders were even banks and odd banks. IE Driver side was 1, 3, 5, and 7 and the passenger side was 2, 4, 6, 8.
Am I wrong on this?
I can't picture it in my head, but going 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 etc around the motor doesn't make much sense either.
Nevermind, I got confused.
