you only wire it like a 351 if the cam you are using has a 351 firing order...

I think some of the 5.0 HO engines used the 351 order also, I looked at comp cams website they didn't say which order for this cam but I am pretty sure that my son's comp cam he put in his Falcon uses the 351 order.

Wire it for 351, if it "fails" wire it for 289...

Comp Cams # 35-302-8 is a 5.0L camshaft. That camshaft uses that late model firing order. 1,3,7,2,6,5,4,8.

You can tell on comp cams because 351/5.0 firing order cams are listed in their catalog under "5.0" while older firing order cams are listed as 260/289/302.
