Yeah, Denny, now I know. This is a '69 Torino GT (Formal Coupe), obviously with the HO 351W. It has been done before, and came to my son dressed in Edelbrock Performer RPM manifold, Edelbrock 1406 carb, Mallory Unilite, headers, and stuff like that, so we had no factory stuff to refer to. But, we've got 'er, now; smooth running, with a nice deep growl to the pipes. When it fired off after we switched the plug wires around, I did a little dance (something not often seen, and quite frightening to behold), then cussed a long string, slugged the garage wall, laughed - just generally made an ass of myself. My son was grinning so big that I thought his face was going to split. Now to finish detailing it out, and getting it back on the street.

Southerner, that's where I've been, overseeing this F-O-R-D thing. I'm an old Chevy guy; this has been a whole new thing for me. That's why this firing order thing tripped me up; all Chevy V-8s had the same firing order, up until just a few years ago. At least, it seems to me that they changed when the Vortec came out - didn't they?
