The 8-cylinder uses the same order as GM, 18436572." The 4-cylinder again copies GM with "1342." Plymouth, Dodge, and Jeep also copied this 8-cylinder firing order.

To further continue the conversation;

Ford used 2 orders depending on the engine. "15426378" for 255, 302, and 460. "13726548" for 351, 351W, 351M, and 400.

I think the 12345678 of the Uxbridge Healy was the ultimate engineering achievement.

It may have been an engineering achievement, but that order causes too much torsional stress to the crankshaft, which can cause cracking.

I'm a Registered Nurse now, but I was a truck mechanic for 10 years.

No, the torsional stress was liminted by the straight 8 configuration.

I grew up in Oshkosh and know that for about 5 months out of the year firing order is unimportant because everything is frozen solid.
