Whats up guys, dad just got a new mustang 1990 mustang with a 5.0. He changed the spark plug wires and somewhere along the line lost the firing order.. Now on the distributor cap is it counter clockwise? Then from the distributor cap does it go 1/1, 2/2 or is it weird like 3/7?Any help is appreciated
thanks
Heres a picture of what i think it is.. correct me if i'm wrong guys
