maybe some pics would help me on it.don't have any thing to go by first time owning a ford :banghead:
-
Found this on another site...
The
firing order of a ford 460 engine is 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8.1-2-3-4 is on the
passenger side and 5-6-7-8 is on the driver’s side. The distributor
rotates counter clockwise. According to my knowledge the ford big block
series is offering the same order regardless of year or displacement.
Hope it helps.

Thanks Ralph mite need your help tunning it

Believe it or not, the Ford 460 firing order is exactly the same as for a Chevy...but the cylinders are numbered differently and the dizzy spins counterclockwise. But the actual cylinders are firing in the same physical order as a Chevy.
-
460 = 15426378
chebby = 18436572
i dont see this

Because you not smokin what he is... ???

i even tried looking at the cylinders and corresponding the firing order to each motor, and that still didnt make sense...i tried giving him the benefit of the doubt...i got too much time on my hands right now
-
well mopar appears to have the same deal as gm going on with their cylinders and firing order...the only difference is the dizzy turns the opposite way
-
The only thing that makes the Ford firing order different from a Chevy is the actual cylinder numbers. Try not to focus on the numbers themselves, but rather the order in which each cylinder fires. You will see that it's the same order pattern between the two.
Here are the cylinder diagrams for Chevy and Ford. Follow the firing order on each one and you'll see what I'm talking about.

still doesnt seem right
-
If you start with cylinder 5 on the ford, they are the same, fords #1 is where the chuvvits #2 is, Mopar uses the same order.....

Thank you. Finally someone who understands that the world is not flat. :D

It's not????
-
yeah but you half to skip the one...so technically thats not the same...
-
Well, that's because of the geometrically different layout of the cylinder heads, Chevy has the left head forward, Ford the right (wrong ;D)..technically the "order" is the same.
The firing order is based on the camshaft, which is why there are two different firing orders for the Ford 289-351 and Chevy 283-400, three if you consider a 180* setup...but not very common.

IT'S ONLY THE #1 BECAUSE FORD SAYS IT'S THE #1!!!
The cylinder numbers do not matter one bit!!! It's all about in what order each physical cylinder fires. The number is just a name given to the cylinder by the manufacturer and does not have anything to do with the firing order itself. It doesn't matter which number you start the firing sequence in. It's all in what order each one fires.
Again the world is not flat. Just like the earth rotates, so does the rotor contact in a distributor. It doesn't have a "starting point" per se...you could start at a Ford's #5 cylinder and treat it as the #1 cylinder and go through the firing order just like you would a Chevy, and you will still get the firing order right as long as you go counterclockwise on the dizzy cap.

ok so go ahead and start your timing on the five so your firing order is the same...fords a ford chevy is a chevy...i get what you are saying, but its completely stupid...point your dizzy towards one and call it a day...that is what the manufactures do as well right? when you point your dizzy to number one its not the same i will leave it at that

OK...all I did was offer that bit of advice up for those who are used to working on Chevy's and are working on a Ford 460 for the first time to simplify and make it easier to figure out the firing order of one, and you came on here and debated the accuracy of the advice I gave. You tried to prove me wrong and you weren't able to...I'll leave it at that.
-
your advice sucked...i would consider myself fairly mechanically inclined and know my way around...which i would like to think that i am alot like most people on this site...all you did was confuse me more meaning, you probably confused others...im not the least bit impressed..i looked at it from your perspective and made no since so i kept digging until it did...sorry about all this boost i hope you got your questions answered...
-
your advice sucked...
Well...I was giving advice on a FORD...what did you expect? ;D
