Which side is the number 1 spark plug on a small block ford?

You're asking about the firing order for a small block Ford engine.

Here's the standard firing order for a small block Ford:

* 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8

This means that cylinder 1 fires first, then cylinder 5, then cylinder 4, and so on.

To find cylinder number 1:

* Locate the distributor: It's usually located near the front of the engine.

* Look at the rotor: The rotor will point to a specific spark plug wire.

* The wire connected to the spark plug that the rotor is pointing to is cylinder number 1.

Important Notes:

* This firing order is for most small block Fords. It's always a good idea to double-check the specific firing order for your engine model in your owner's manual or a reputable repair manual.

* If you have a different type of Ford engine (like a big block) or if your engine has been modified, the firing order may be different.

I hope this helps!
