Firing orders

[3175375]

back in the day Ford's firing order was 15426378. Chevy's was 18436572. I do not recall Mopar's have they changed?

 

[tarafied1]

are you asking if the Mopar firing order has changed?

 

[3175375]

I just can't recall

Ford changed it afterwards to 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8 because of extremely tempory load of the front chrankshaft bearing.As I recall. right?

I'm not sure "why" Ford changed the order but they used a 351W marine cam I believe in the 82 GT 5.0 and after that all HO 5.0's had the 351W firing order

I think i read this in this book.

In DC, the firing order is: "You're fired!"

They all seem to have at least one cylinder that fires next to an adjacent one. Why is that? Wouldn't a FO of 18452736make more sense?

I think it all has to do with constructing a chrankshaft with the least of material and still be able to balance the chrankshaft.

the proper firing order is child predators first, then politicians, then lesser criminals like murderers, after that its the choice of the one with the gun.

Most people don't notice it but early Chevys and 289's have the exact same firing order. GM LS series changed to the 5.0/351W firing order like Ford did. It's not obvious because GM numbers their cylinders differently. Chrysler missed the boat on the firing order change and stuck with the early Ford/GM lineup.
