I have a 351W from an '87 Crown Vic. I removed the motor to put in my AOD. In doing so, I removed the headers and had to remove the plugs to do so. Now I think I put them back in the wrong order. Does anyone know the firing order of my motor? I know it starts #1. Then what?
Thanks!

Answer
It is 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8 with 1-2-3-4 on the pass side and 5-6-7-8 on the drivers side. The dist turns clockwise.

Same for a Cleve
