Firing order question?
I have a 1994 F-150 with a 302, and i am going to replace the plugs, wires, cap, and rotor (all stock) today. I heard that it is better to use the same firing order as the 351w in a 302. Is this true? I know i could find out through trial and error but if someone could fill me in on the truth it would save me some time under the hood (its cold as hell in MI). I appreciate it.

You have to use the firing order the motor is designed to use, and in your case that should be 13726548. There should be a sticker on or near the fan shrowd with emissions info and the firing order if the front end sheet metal is original.

That's why i stick with the older style trucks, nothing over 79 for any reason....it's just to complicated and not worth the effort.

Ok, maybe I'm just too old for that joke, but that makes about as much sense as a helium filled boat anchor. 
Or motorcycle doors.

Of course... that's coming from a guy that still doesn't like using a metric measureing tape.. and how long has Canada been on the Metric system?
