Question 302 0r 302 HO

How can you tell if you have a 302 0r a 302 HO. The motor is in a 1988 Ford F-150.

Easiest way is the firing order.

HO is (starting from number 1--counter clockwise on the distributor)------- 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8

Non HO (starting from number 1--counter clockwise on the distributor)-------- 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8


Facing the front of the engine/truck

the cylinders are number starting from the left side front to back 1-2-3-4

right side front to back 5-6-7-8

the firing order should be cast on to your intake manifold

I don't think firing order is on EFI manifolds. If the 302 is in a truck, it is not HO, unless someone put it there. Ford never designated a 302 HO efi in the trucks.

As a thought, the haynes manual lists the H O firing order for 95 and later 5.0 motors installed in trucks. later

That's correct, but that doesn't necessarily make it a HO. I think the roller cam motors in trucks were 351 firing order - mass air 302's were definitely 351 order, but not labelled an HO.

i had a mass air engine in my 90 and it was definately the 351 order and it was a roller ready block, i just found that out. but it was not an HO. i don't even know if that motor in that truck was the one that came in it but i am positive about the MASS AIR and 351 firing order on it

^ It wasn't stock - Ford started putting mass air on very few '94's and a few more '95's and all '96's (referring to F150's with 302).
