Need the firing order/cyl numbering scheme for
my old 292 y-block

thanks

 

Cylinders are numbered 1 to 4, front to back on the passenger side, and 5 to 8 on the driver side. Firing order is 15486372. Some other numbers that may help are; valve lash .018 hot (but actually runs better and quieter at .016), point gap is .015 which should yield a dwell of about 27 degrees, plugs gapped at .035, ignition timing between 6 and 10 BTDC (where it runs best, i.e., no pinging).

Are you still getting oil up to your rockers ???

1-5-4-8-6-3-7-2. The cylinder numbers can be found on the intake itself look where the ports enter the heads. I am more familiar with other v-8's but I believe Ford stuck with a similar convention on them all and that is to number them 1-4 starting in the front and going to the firewall on the passenger side and 5-8 on the driver's side front to back again. I hope this helps. Looks like you already received a wealth of information from a "Y-Block" enthusiast.
