The firing order on a SBC 350 V8 is...1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2. The cylinders are numbered 1, 3, 5, and 7 on the driver's side and 2, 4, 6 and 8 on the passenger side. If you are planning to replace your ignition wires always do 1 wire at a time. The # 1 spark plug is the driver's side front of the engine. Trace that ignition wire to the distributor cap and you now have #1. The wires run clockwise on the distributor cap. So the next wire in line would be #8 , the next will be #4 and so on.. If you already removed the wires and seem lost you can either look in a Chilton's manual and/or see the firing order in the picture diagram. | The firing order on a SBC 350 V8 is...1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2.
