    Clockwise looking down from above the engine. Don't push down while priming.

    Assuming you know how the cylinders are numbered without going to the internet!

    It took me about 20 years to memorize the firing order for my Buicks (as well as most other V8s). Now, I have a cam with a 4/7 firing order swap and have to learn all over again. My firing order is now 1-8-7-3-6-5-4-2. Will it never end? Question Mark Emoji(Tiny).jpg
