firing order
hey, i have a 88 mustang GT. I did a intake manifold gasket, had coolent leak. Now it will turn over and not start. It did run fine before i tore it apart. I am going to check all the electrical connections in the morning and the vacume lines. And i need to make sure i have my wires correct, so im looking for the firing order, and were to start on the distributor. also, on the passenger side of hte motor, there were 5 electrical connections that would fit into the 4 injectors, how would i test and make sure i have the right ones pluged into the right places.
thanks
thanks

RE: firing order
The picture of the above distributor is WRONG for the 5.0
The sequence is right, but all the numbers need to be shifted counter clock-wise one position.
Common mistake, even seen it printed that way in a Chilton or Haynes book before too.
It will run that way, but your injector timing will be slightly off.

RE: firing order
what about timing. i had to take the distributor out, how would i make sure i get the distributor back in the same spot? if i were to have jumped a gear on the cam where it drives the distributor would that make timing off? im just about possitive i have gas, i know i have spark, but its just not firing. Just turns over and when i stop turning over it backfires a lil bit.
