Just wondering because i need to know the distributor firing order on my car and need to know if it's an ho engine or not

[toomanytoys]

The HO means high output

High Output

[GT40Mustang]

High output As for the firing order it's 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8

A small block Ford has 2 firing orders depending on the cam that is in them. Remember it's not a Chevy LOL so cylinders 1 - 4 are on the passenger side and 5 - 8 are on the drivers side.
The HO firing ordrer is 13726546
Depending on the cam that it has it could be 15426378

Wow i'm retarded, i should have known that
my firing order doesn't match the firing order for a regular 302 so maybe it it a H.O.
Also the 8th cylinder is on the front left when looking at the front of the car is that normal, and the 1st cyl. is in the back right.

No, #1 is left front when looking at the engine from the front. #8 is right rear back by the brake booster.
Standard


5.0 HO

H.O. Stands for HOLD ON.

ok well i know i have a 302 but my firing order on the distributor doesn't match either of those, i've checked them over and over again, so i don't know what the hell they did to the engine before i had it, i think i heard from the guy i bought it from that it was camed, but i have no way to know because there is no cam pully unless it's in the enigine and runs off the crank itself. so i'm kinda screwed unless one of you live around me and can come help me out.

Not sure what you are doing to determine the firing order, but if you are looking at numbering on the wires someone could have used lets say a number 8 on the wire going to cyl. 4 and it could screw you up. Also make sure you are using the correct distributor rotation when checking the firing order. Follow each wire from the cap all the way to the plug so you know which cylinder it is actually going to.
