I'm working on a '79 Pontiac Firebird with a 301 2BBL and HEI ignition for a friend. I have a Chilton's "Bible" that I'm going off of for the ignition information. I know the firing order is right from the order cast into the intake manifold of 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2.
According to Chilton's the cylinders are numbered
7 5 3 1Front -->
8 6 4 2And #1 on the distributor cap is just to the left of the rear right-hand side hold-down clip.
My question is this correct? It is not marked on the cap.
