Distributor Wiring (Firing Order) 1998 Chevy 454

[gwtriker]

I have a 1998 Fleetwood Bounder with a 454 Chevy engine. Belive it or not, a neighbors dog chased a cat into the engine compartment throught the wheel well. Most of the plug wires and all of the chassis wiring have been chewed to up, with about a 6 inch section of the chassis wiring totally missing.

My biggest problem is I can not find the firing order or plug wiring from the distrubitor in the Chevy service manuals, The distributor has 4 positions for the plug wires in a line parallel to the ground. Can anyone tell me the proper order for the plug wires on both sides?

And just for information, Animal Control will not let me shoot the dog OR the owner.

Thanks

The firing order for the chevy is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 in a clock wise rotation order.

Facing the engine the left side is Even 2-4-6-8 with the right side being odd at 1-3-5-7.

Hope this helps.
