Here's why, and what you can do to find the information:
* Many Engine Options: Cadillacs in 1979 had a variety of engine choices, including V8s and a V6. Each engine has a unique firing order.
* Finding the Information:
1. Check your Owner's Manual: The firing order should be listed in your owner's manual.
2. Engine ID Tag: Look for a tag on your engine that provides the engine code. You can use this code to find the correct firing order online or in repair manuals.
3. Online Resources: Search for your specific Cadillac model and year online, along with "firing order." Many websites and forums provide this information.
4. Repair Manuals: A repair manual specific to your Cadillac model and year will also contain the firing order.
Important Note: Always verify the firing order before performing any engine work. Using the wrong firing order can cause damage to your engine.
