Firing Order / Straight 8 / Wiring Positions
Posted by Hitechtoys On 2012/3/26 12:16:18
Hello,
I've got a 1925 Packard with a Straight-8. Just about got her to turn over this week-end! New plugs and plug wires. On the engine block it says the firing order is 1,3,2,5,8,6,7,4. I checked the manuals I have...my questions is when the spark plug wire comes up to the distributor cap...WHAT is the sequence for the cap? Is the front hole #1, then clockwise? Counter-clockwise? They made no sense the way they were connected...they were random, but maybe if #1 is in the front, then it's the firing order going clockwise? Counter-clockwise? I know there must be an order as to how these connect.
Does anybody have an idea on how these connect correctly or where I could look for the answer?
THANK YOU!!
