What is the firing order for a 79 Oldsmobile cutlass 3.8L V6 and what side odd- even?

The firing order for a 1979 Oldsmobile Cutlass with the 3.8L V6 engine is 1-6-5-4-3-2.

As for odd/even cylinder banks, the V6 in that engine is configured such that cylinders 1, 3, and 5 are on one side (bank), and cylinders 2, 4, and 6 are on the other. There's no universally standardized "odd" or "even" bank designation, so determining which is which would require looking at the engine itself. A service manual or a detailed diagram of the engine would be needed to definitively say which side is considered odd and which is even for that specific engine.
