The ford flathead is wrong

1-5-8-6-3-3-7-2??????

its 1-5-4-8-6-3-7-2

 

Just out of curiosity, are the cylinders on the modern hemi numbered right?

so is the one for the olds, unless it a newer style, the older olds were 1-8-7-3-6-5-4-2-

 

I aways thought it was kind of interesting that the 18436572 and Fords 15426378 firing orders are actually the same, just numbered differently. That is, if you brought Fords number 5 cylinder TDC on compression and wired it like a GM/Chrysler it would be right. Or for you Ford guys, vice versa.

Also, the Y-block has the distributor in the back...

 

Yay for MSD!

ROFLMAO!

It's showing the 401-425 Nailhead distributors in the front, wrong! The 300’s were up front but not considered a true nailhead.

 

Its no wonder people cant get they're motors to fire.

 

This showed up a while back and the same mistakes were recognized.
It was suggested that some companies may 'make mistakes' to identify thier own work for copyright reasons.

Who knows.. Get a specific manual and you might be better off.

I don't have easy access to my books right now, but as I recall, the nailhead #1 cylinder is the front one on the passenger's side, isn't it?

 

Epic fail. Way to go MSD

 

Nailheads all(264-322-364-401-425) have the same firing order-12784563 but #1 is on the right bank and as stated the dist is in the rear.

 

Damn, there's only 4 cylinders on a VW aircooled engine, and while they got the firing order right (1-4-3-2), they blew it with the #1 and #2 cylinder....#1 is closest to the front, right across from #3



Front of car

#3 #1
#4 #2


..at least the couple hundred I've worked on, or owned...

 

Thanks for posting
If the info was correct it makes for a handy tool/ shop poster.

 

lol, I caught that right off the git go as well... I'm feeling there are a few more errors as well.

 

Yep, I done printed it out cause I didnt look at it. I just ASSumed it was correct. You know what that gets me.............

 

WTF, the VW is wrong too. OOps, Oldguy, I hadn't read your post. Guess you would know whether the Vdub was right or not!! How 'ya been?

 

I like things simple. Never had a problem.
