66P51GT said:You have to make sure the engine is at Top Dead Center (TDC). Pull the distributor cap and look where the rotor is. This is the correct location for the #1 wire. Rotor spins counter clockwise so add the wires in the correct order 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8.
TDC is the top of the compression stroke. To find TDC, remove the passenger side valve cover and use a 11/16 socket to manually crank the engine. You can also use a remote starter to tap the engine over. Once you see the intake valve close, rotate the engine until the timing mark is at 0* (TDC).
It's been a while for me but that should do it.

I am having trouble getting my 351w to start... think i may have the wiring wrong... its also got a 302 cam so i guess i should be using the firing order from a 302 not a 351?
WORTH said:HE has to be close or it wouldn't run, so he can just bring the timing mark up, it will either be at #1 or 180 degrees off.
