However, the distributor cap wire placement will be the *reverse* order of the firing order, as the distributor rotates in a specific direction. Therefore, you should look at the distributor cap with the rotor pointing at number one. Then the wire placement will be:
* Number 1: (Rotor points here)
* Number 8:
* Number 4:
* Number 3:
* Number 6:
* Number 5:
* Number 7:
* Number 2:
Crucial Note: While this is the *most common* firing order for a 1967 Chevy 396, there's a slight chance of variation depending on the specific engine configuration (some variations existed). Always double-check your engine's specific casting numbers and consult a reliable source like a GM parts catalog or a reputable repair manual for your exact engine code. Incorrect wiring can severely damage your engine.
