ignition/timeing question

Hello, 429 Thunderjet engine out of a 68 thunderbird I have a few questions. What type of ignition did this engine have in its stock form? What is the firing order? A frend of mine has a ford pick up (dont know what yr) is having ignition difficulties. Sorry to sound so novice guys, but, as you can see in my username, I am a Chevy fan (ya BOO BOO HISS and not much of a truck guy. Thanks in advance guys

John

Just a simple coil and breaker points ignition, unless it was one of the dual point distributor jobs.

The 429/460 firing order is 1 5 4 2 6 3 7 8.
