Here's a breakdown:
* 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 This is the standard firing order for all Chrysler LA-series engines, including the 318.
* Counterclockwise Rotation: The engine's crankshaft rotates counterclockwise when viewed from the front of the vehicle.
Important Note: While most 318 Chrysler engines have counterclockwise rotation, it's always best to verify the specific rotation of your engine by checking the engine casting or a service manual.
