Ford V8 Firing Order 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8 Diagram - Cylinder & Distributor Layout

This document is a firing order / cylinder numbering schematic for a Ford V8 engine, watermarked www.mre-books.com. It shows the engine as viewed from above with two cylinder banks: one bank numbered 1 through 4 (front to rear) and the other bank numbered 5 through 8 (front to rear). Below the cylinder layout is a distributor cap diagram with its eight spark plug wire terminals labeled in the sequence 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8, arranged counterclockwise around the cap, and an arrow indicating the rotor's counterclockwise rotation direction. The filename (15426378) also encodes this firing order. From this diagram a reader can determine the correct cylinder numbering on each bank, the firing order 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8, the correct terminal on the distributor cap for each spark plug wire, and the direction of distributor rotor rotation — everything needed to route spark plug wires correctly after a tune-up, cap replacement, or distributor removal. The document itself contains no year, model, engine displacement, or part number text, so its exact application must be inferred; it was uploaded to a 1969 Ford Mustang gallery.
