Could someone help me out here for a 1969 El Camino. What is the firing order for a 454 engine? Thank You.

Gene Chas Jul 28th, 99, 12:45 PM 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2, and keep repeating it 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2. All mice and rats. 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2. Tom Kordick Jul 28th, 99, 1:17 PM Correction to Gene's comment - all except for the old BB truck engines that had a gear drive on the cam, then it is reversed. ------------------ DZAUTO Jul 28th, 99, 2:49 PM So Tom, are all Chev V8 distributors interchangeable? ------------------ mike reeh Jul 28th, 99, 4:56 PM Newer 'vette small blocks are different too if it makes any difference which it doesnt, just thought id bring it up. and do i know what it is, no http://www.chevelles.com/forum/smile.gif Tom Kordick Jul 28th, 99, 7:21 PM DZAUTO, I am not really sure, I know I have changed a many points and HEI's and they all swapped both BB & SB. With the old truck motors, I cannot see why they wouldn't work. Just have to reverse the wires (CCW). I sure someone out there knows for sure! ------------------ JWagner Jul 28th, 99, 8:01 PM As for gear drive cams, keep in mind that the distributor will have to turn the oil pump in the same direction as always. I think what Tom is referring to is that the gear must be different to match the reverse rotation cam, but the distributor rotation and firing order will be the same. Gene Chas Jul 29th, 99, 5:08 AM Geez, sometimes I think you guys know too much! Wally Jul 29th, 99, 8:15 AM This will hurt your head, some boat motors run backward. That means the pump turns backward along with everything else. So, what do you suppose the firing order is for that baby? ------------------ Wally Gold #67 67 malibu BULKSS Jul 29th, 99, 9:15 AM Wally I had one it was a Chris Craft my father had it was installed backward with then tranny running of the crank snout of what would be the harmonic balancer I am glad I dont have to deal with it anymore MIKE JWagner Jul 29th, 99, 9:28 AM Reverse rotation marine motors get some special parts, like camshafts for reverse rotation and drive gears to keep the pump pumping in the correct direction and sometimes they get reverse knurled crankshafts so that the rope seals still keep the oil in. Lotsa possibilities here. john6066 Jul 29th, 99, 10:18 AM teach you to ask what time it is. Joe454 Jul 29th, 99, 6:30 PM I once knew a guy who had 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 tattooed on the back of his hand. Never did have him work on my cars. | ||
