This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    So yeah, like the title says, I have no idea what the firing order for the 69 is, and it's been killing me because the engine won't start. DOes anyone know the information? Thanks in advance!

    P.S. if anyone knows a place for old riv parts, please send me the site!

    What I find amazing is that the 1970 Chassis Service Manual (page 60-41) reports it incorrectly.:puzzled:

    As mentioned, the firing order is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2. The #1 wire was factory placed on the tower just clock wise of the distributor cap point adjustment window. Distributor rotation is clock wise.

    There are lots of reasons an engine won't start. Do you have fuel and spark?

    Like Erik sez: The 430 engine firing order is in raised cast letters right on the intake manifold !:Do No:
    Check out the Riviera Owners Association (ROA) site at: www.rivowners.org
    . . . they have most of the Riv parts sources linked, in addition to all the member/owners here !!
    Post a new thread in the 'parts wanted' section here and list what parts your looking for. :TU:

    BadBRad: I have a 69 Buick fullsize manual and tried what they put on there but didn't work, I'll try to see if I can do it tomorrow. DO you by chance have the diagram for it? Btw, you have a sweet ride!

    Thanks for the OPGI info, I have a catalog from them but I'm missing the door panels (they're missing a lot of 69 RIv stuff sadly) :/ I'll try ROA and see if any luck!

    The engine intake was long gone, I'll post a pic tomorrow for yal to see.

    Thank yal so much for the reply!! :pray:

    Never mind the firing order. First order of business when an engine won't start. Fuel and spark. Both are easy to check for.
