Anyone check the flat head Ford firing order, 15863372. It should be 15486372, the same as the y-block Ford. I guess MSD doesn't feel the need to fire number 4 on a flattie. Apparently no proof reading.

Have A Great Day!

I have this same chart in a drawer near my workbench- the Flathead order has been corrected, and I've even added a few crudely-drawn diagrams for engines not shown on the chart. B)

Wow, I always thought they'd be the same for all V8s. Just can't figure out how they'd be different. Got some research to do B)

Thanks for the chart!

It's all related to the cam timing Andy, but for s and g's, notice how not all the brands number the cylinders the same. If you were to number them all alike, a lot of them would run the same order physically on the block. Something interesting to look at, search a Chevy 5,7 swap cam.
