    Iam going to assume that this car has a 401 in it. if so the firing ourder should either be on the intake or one of the valve covers. when i get home ill look on my car and get back to you

    Remember that cylinder #1 on a Nailhead engine is on the passenger side (LHD car) of the engine:


    Front of car

    2 o-----o 1

    4 o-----o 3

    6 o-----o 5

    8 o-----o 7



    Firing order = 1 - 2 - 7 - 8 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 3
