I ran a search but couldn't find anything. Can anyone tell me what the firing order is on an '89 HO. I have the plug wires totally wrong on the distributor to where it wont even start, and I dont know how to figure it out. Does anyone know how it goes. Are the cylinders numbered like this-
4 8
3 7
2 6
1 5
front
Please help me figure out this mess....

Yes the cylinders are numbered that way,

Passenger side is #1 in the front #4 in the rear.

Drivers side is #5 in the front, #8 in the rear.

Firing Order is 13726548
