Hey guys, I am trying to find a firing order for a 1970 something
ChrisCraft 350 engine. Do any of you know what that could be? Thanks- Hide quoted text -

If you know which is cylinder 1 (look at the distributer and timing
mark, the exhaust valve should open as you spin the engine, if the
intake valve opens, your off by one rotation) pull the plugs and valve
covers and rotate the engine in the proper direction. Watch the intake
valves, the next one to open is the next one to fire. You'll get four
cylinders with one rotation, and the other four in the second
rotation. It can be done without removing the valve covers and placing
a finger over the plug hole, but I don't like that method myself.
