I have a 1972 buick 455 that I have on a stand that i am getting ready to run , it has a eldebrock intake on it ,so I don't know what the firing order is. I also need to know what the timming should be set at. Thanks springhill gs
Set your timing @ Top dead center or 0 degrees on the compression stroke. The cylinders are 1,3,5,7 on the L side and 2.4.6.8 on the R side. Your manual should have a wiring diagram.
In addition to the above which will get you started, here's the original layout on the distrubutor cap. Welcome aboard! http://www.v8buick.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=30366&d=1092677754 Devon
