R Pope, Great advice. I'll try it tonight and let you know how it comes out.

Hworrell. It backfires whether it's hot or cold.

Hoss. You're not going to hurt my feelings. I'm going to exhaust all possibilities before I take it in. At this point, it's a matter of principle. Can't let a mechanical device whip me with putting up a fight.

I'm open to any and all ideas. Keep 'em coming. I've got a few things to change tonight. I'll let everyone know how it goes. Thanks for all the help.

Mike

That sure isnt the firing order for a small block Chevy!! Never was, never will be!!

Wire it like your firing order 18246537 and it is certain to pop. Haynes manuals are not a good source of info but even they should have a Chevy firing order correct.

Yes every gen 1 chevy I know of fires 18436572 unless its had the 4-7 cam swap wich would make it 18736542 same as the Gen 3....
And don't forget cyl. 1357 (front to rear)is the driver side bank and 2468 is the passenger side bank unlike the Fords your use to.....

Robot,

Believe it or not, they reference 1996 and later SFI V8 engines as having a 18246537 firing order. I was hoping maybe they used that firing order for a propane/NG engine. I appreciate the help. Mike
