| If you ever get caught without someone to ask what a firing order is you can always remove the valve cover and watch the rocker arms. When both valves to a cylinder are closed it needs to fire. Making sure the rotor points to a wire terminal and that wire goes to that cylinder with that piston at top dead center. |

| Maybe easier yet just take out all the plugs and check with your thumb which cylinder are on compression stroke as someone else slowly cranks. |

Just curious. Everyone says the cylinders are from radiator back 1-2-3-4. Just wondering why there a big 2 stamped in the block under what you say would be #3 cylinder?

Is the 2 stamped or cast into the block? I am guessing it is cast in. Numbers cast into parts often do not mean anything to anyone outside of the foundry. Some are date codes, pattern changes, etc. In this case I would say the 2 is a foundry mark with no relation to the cylinder it is near.

Okay, yes cast in. I thought maybe the number 2 meant the cylinder number just as many of my old Ford engines had the cylinder numbers cast in. Both my CA's have this big #2 cast in the block. |
