Adding detail, firing order

[Mike C]

I always like to wire up the correct firing order on American engines back in the days when cars had distributors. However its not necessary on modern cars. My current project is a 1971 Ferrari 365 GTS with a V12. I don't know what the firing order is so I just put in wires.

And I always make sure there is air in the tires

...and a man wires how he wants to wire and disregards the rest... (sung to the tune of Simon and Garfunkel's The Boxer).

Personally I would have gone with the Isley Brothers

Take the time to do the research, you did on the old American cars.

Let's turn this around - have you ever checked someone else's build to verify the firing order was correct?
