What is the order of spark plug wires on a ford 360?

The firing order for a Ford 360 cubic inch V8 engine is 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8. However, the order of the plug wires on the distributor cap will be the *opposite* of the firing order. The distributor rotates, so the number 1 cylinder's wire will be on the terminal that the rotor points to when cylinder 1 is at its firing position.

To find the correct plug wire placement on *your* distributor cap, you will need to:

1. Consult your owner's manual: This is the most reliable source. The diagram should show the distributor cap with the correct plug wire order.

2. Look for markings on the distributor cap: Some distributor caps have numbers indicating cylinder positions.

3. Use a reliable online resource: While I can give you the firing order, a visual diagram from a reputable source showing the cap and wire locations is critical to avoid mis-wiring. Search for "[Ford 360 firing order diagram]" on your preferred search engine.

Caution: Incorrectly wiring spark plug wires can severely damage your engine. If you are not comfortable working on your engine, it's best to take it to a qualified mechanic.
