Thank you for that information. So would I be correct to assume whatever car I build (Pontiac, Ford, Chevy) the engine would follow that manufacturers firing order for a small block?

Hey everyone, I am building the #28 Havoline stock car the black and white version and have a few questions athe kit and for future stock car builds. 1) The instructions say to paint the chassis gloss black but the box shows like a light gray color. Which is correct? This will be my 2nd NASCAR build and I'm not going for 100% accuracy nor a super detailed kit (not till I become more familiar with stock car building) but a "looks good/accurate enough" build. 2) Where should I mask off for the two tone paint? Can't really see placement points and there really isn't much info for the black and white car. 3) After gluing the front and rear fascia on there is a seam (obviously). Do these seams exist on the real cars or are they completely seam free? 4) My first ever completed stock car is the #30 Pennzoil 1993? Grand Prix. I hollowed out the wheel backs like I usually do to help the wheels go on and have all 4 corners touch the ground. Car looks good, however (my opinion) it seems to sit a bit high for a stock car. Am I right? If so what tips do y'all have for lowering the kits and by how much (scale wise)? 5) The engines that are in the cars from the respected manufacturers (ie, Ford small block in Thunderbirds) or they built by another company? Would like to add plug wires to a future build. 6) Where is the best place online to get reference material on wiring and plumbing a stock car? Sorry for the long post but I have tried to look things up myself and figured I get advice from those who actually do the builds. Thanks for any help anyone can give me.
