Ford 360 FE V8 Firing Order Diagram - Distributor Cap Wiring & Timing Marks

This document is a schematic diagram (uploaded as "FORD 360 FIRING ORDER.gif") showing the firing order and distributor cap wiring arrangement for a Ford V8 engine. The drawing depicts the engine from above with two cylinder banks: one bank numbered 8, 7, 6, 5 and the other numbered 4, 3, 2, 1. In the center is a distributor cap with numbered terminals (1 through 8) and an arrow indicating clockwise rotor rotation; spark plug wires are drawn from each cap terminal to its corresponding cylinder, allowing a reader to correctly route ignition wires. An inset at the right shows the timing pointer and degree scale on the harmonic balancer/timing cover, marked BTDC 30°, 20°, 10°, TC, 10° ATDC, with an arrow labeled "BACK" indicating orientation toward the rear of the engine. The diagram contains no written year, model, engine displacement, or part numbers; its applicability is inferred only from the upload filename. A reader can use this diagram to verify plug wire placement on the distributor cap, confirm rotor rotation direction, and locate/read the ignition timing marks when setting base timing with a timing light.
