Well I am going to fire her up for the 1st time in years tonight. With the removal and rebuild of the engine, I lost my manual, and am installing new wires. I was looking for the firing order online, and found this:
Is this the right schematic for my 1978 Lincoln 302? (D8VE casting)
Thanks guys, and Im sure Ill be posting once I get home.
Rich, The correct firing order .... according to Chilton's book is: 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8 for 302's after 1975 and up ..... distributor rotation is counterclockwise. Hope this helps.
I wired ignition, filled her with oil, coolant, hooked up throttle cable, and when I went to install plug wires, I realized that the wires I got at.. (yep you guessed it,Kragen) -were the wrong ones. I got the wires for my year of engine, but forgot what I had dealt with before. I have an electronic ignition installed, and the wires were for the points system. (different dist. ends)
Therefore, no startup until day after tomorrow at the earliest.
