Default Help! firing order

I know this sounds stupid not being able to find the right firing order on my car but which is the number 1 cylinder on the distributer cap. I know that the ordering is 15426378(correct me if I'm wrong) but i think the guy who owned my car before me messed all the wires up and put them in the wrong place. Thanks for any input.

That is NOT the 302 HO firing order!

13726548

Believe it's that, off the top of my head.
And the rotor spins Clockwise.

These guys are right, the fireing order on an HO is 13726548 (like a 351). I thought the rotor in the distributor spins counter clockwise. Because I can turn the distributer clockwise to advance the timing. But it's been a while, I would have to look at it.

When buying tune-up parts, always go with Motorcraft parts (the best for Fords). The number 1 will be stamped on it. No.1 is close to the black plastic vent on the top of the cap. I think its to the right of it, but I can't remember, I would have to go look.
