I just bought my 67 mustang a month ago and have been going through it tuning it up. Today I just realized that the firing order has been completely wrong! The guy before me was an idiot! What kind of effects has that been having on the car? Can I just change the wires to the right firing order and be good? Any advice would help. Thanks.

Is it a 302? I believe there are different firing orders for 302's. You should have noticed it really running crappy and perhaps a backfire or two.
Well, I rewired it according to the 289 specs and the car wont start! Now what do I do? I dont remember the old config. Any ideas? Could the firing order been changed? Why would the be the case?
You need to find top dead center on #1 In other words both valves need to be close and the timing mark on the balancer needs to be at 0. Then you wire it up with #1 being wherever the rotor is pointing and go from there. This pic might help. So it was running before but the PO didnt do something right?
