WTF? anybody hear of this firing order? Reply #5 – March 06, 2008, 12:12:00 AM I bet it's firing on the SO order but you have the 2 and 3 wires mixed up from the plugs to the distributer. No one makes a cam that changes the SO 302 roller cam firing order. The only cam that has a swap firing order is for a BB Chevy. You're cam HAS to have the stock SO firing order........

I bet the distributor is off..... Quote Selected
