So i got the exhaust put on at the shop today. Lately i have been having a ton of timing issues and my car is just not hitting all 8 cylinders. After the exhaust was put on all of the mechanics dug into the issue. Alot of them were telling me that the firing order was incorrect and that they have seen this same issue before with others. After trying every last thing they changed the firing order.
heres what it was: 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8
this is what they changed it to: 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8
Ya, a firing order for a 302?????????
Turned the key and..........it ran perfectly fine!!!!!!!! no misses, fires on all 8, no back firing, and sounds amazing with the flowmaster 40's.
I dont get it, but i have heard before from a few different Ford junkies that there were 2 different firing orders for a few years for the 351w. The motor in my car came out of an LTD i believe. Its a D2 date code.
Anyone else ever hear of this?
