Firing Order for Cadillac 429 engine
I have a 1965 Cadillac Coupe DeVille. It has a 429 Big Block with 65,000 original miles and i'm in the process of restoring the car, but I have a problem. The engines timing is off and I can't seem to find the firing order anywhere. This is my first classic car so i'm a newbe. My dad gave me the car and I want to make him proud. I would be very greatful if anyone can help me. Thank You.

Tyler, my best advice is to make your first purchase a complete set of Factory Shop Manuals for the car. Not some cheezy repair guide you buy at Autozone, but the real deal.
I have bought all my manuals from Faxon for the past several decades and have always been pleased with the service they offer and the value of the manuals. In the case of your Cadillac, there is a used, good condition, original GM manual for $79 or a photocopy manual copied from the original service manual for $49. You choose.

Please do not start messing with the car until you have read about it in an original manual like I have presented here. Do it right or don't do it at all.

The firing order should be cast in the intake manifold.. I have never worked on one of those but I would bet money it's 18436572I remember when hot rods were all home made.
