BOJO should have the correct order if it's a 351w (13726548). The last guy that removed the dist cap may have rotated it 180 degrees. So just take the cap off, rotate it 180 degrees, clamp it back down and start from #1. If someone has replace the engine with a 302 the firing order is 15426378. Rotate the cap and do the same thing. The Pistons go, from the front passenger side 1234 to the rear and the driver side 5678. While your at it, may as well check the electrodes on the cap (also check for cracks in the plastic) and the rotor. The rotor will only go on one way. Let us know what fixed it. Now that I think about it, the cap should not fit at 180 degrees out??? Is your coil wire still connected good on both ends? Check to make sure no vacuum hoses got pulled off or broke.

 

The cap will fit at 180 degrees off. It would still work, except that if you didn't know that it was 180 degrees off and used the cap's number one marker to start your firing order, it would be off by 180 degrees. I fixed a car that someone had just tuned up and did that very thing. The car still ran but had no power.

 

no broken wires/vaccum lines,it is a 351 ive had it for some time now and ive bought a few parts since then,lol. the caps HAS NOT been takin off since it ran last so there is noway of it being 180 off,unless someone came in there and switched it while i was sleepin,lol. ive ran out of ideas realy.been to tdc many times and it still wont start......im gonna push it back in the field it sat in and
anyone wanna join?

 

eec,


whic rotor do i put towards tdc on the distributor i have 2 and a small one aswell i believe well it kinda looks like one...and do i point it at the #1 plug or where would you suggest?...im desperate and in need of help anything you can add to this will or could help me...


thanks again
Sean

 

mine has one wide two small on top and one wide on bottom line up the wide one on top hope this helps

 

the 1980-86 f series trucks forum has alot of imformation on the eec 111 system i dont know if you can post a bronco on their site but it does have the same motor any one know

 

the firing oreder should be stamped on the intake somewhere

 

i forgot to say point wide one at #1 on cap

 

just to clarify.....


two of the tips on top are the same size but the plastic the tip sits on is a little wider right? cause the tip isnt wider then the other one ontop on the low one is wider thats how mine is also with the wide low one right next to one of the small ones on top....its kinda confusing so im tyring to make this make sence to you,lol....and which wide one do i point at #1 the one on top or next to the otherone...i know we are on the same engine here cause the low wide one is lined up across from the small one ontop like you were saying....whew!! thats a tongue twister there..i bet you cant say that 10 times fast,lol...


thanks again
Sean

 

kind of funky set isnt it the wider one that points side ways the other two point up

 

so is my description right then?...and also which wide one do i point at the #1? the one on top or below?....please let me know if i make sence



Sean

 

mine is still original rotor and cap maybe thats why its wider on top

 

sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...you point the wide one ontop at #1...the otherone would be next to the low small one correct?....2 are right next to eachother and the other one is seperate, the seperate one is the one that gets pointed right?

 

the two next to each other with the connector bar between them is the one the one that points to the side point at # 1

 

thanks im gonna check on it tom morn asap...
