Smartin Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Hi Cadillac folks,I just started working on a friend's 59 that had an engine fire several years ago. I am replacing some wiring, including the plug wires. I have two questions:1. What is the firing order?2. How are the cylinders numbered? #1 on drivers side or passenger?Thanks in advance!

keiser31 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Just a simple thing to remember...the #1 cylinder is usually the furthest out front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smartin Posted April 3, 2011 Author Share Posted April 3, 2011 Yeah, and that's what I thought with this car, but it was difficult to see which one was further forward...and leave it to me to guess wrong 95% of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
