Help!!! Messed Up The Spark Plug Order!!!

Does anyone have access to the wiring order for a 1976 Ford f-150 supercab with a 390 in it?

sure in my head, 15426378. Btw its that ccw around the dizzy.

looking from the front of the truck. Left side, front of engine is #1 cylinder then 2,3,4 toward the back firewall. Right side, front of engine is #5 then 6,7,8 toward the back firewall.

For locating #1 on the cap, look where the latch goes on the cap in the front and then count 4 terminals ccw. You will notice the FE dizzy cap has a notch that fits over a screw? that locates the cap in the correct position.

good luck!

Welcome to the site

Just a head's up !
This is actually a 390 engine question and could have been asked in the FE engine series forum.
The Truck it is in ,has nothing to do with the firing order.

The 390 was available in earlier trucks.

here are specs for engines.

You could have got that info from the link in my previous reply.

see the chart for Firing order H.

No, it's the same as it's the same engine (like the 352) ,just a different length of stroke
