What is the spark plug and wires firing order for an V8 302 5.0L 1987 Thunderbied LX?

The firing order for a 1987 5.0L (302 cubic inch) V8 Ford engine, such as the one in a Thunderbird LX, is 1-5-4-8-6-3-7-2.

The spark plug wire routing will follow that order, starting from number 1 cylinder and proceeding sequentially around the engine. A specific diagram showing the routing path is highly recommended to ensure proper installation. You can find such a diagram in a repair manual specific to that year and model of Thunderbird. Improper wiring can cause misfires and engine damage.
