302 sparkplug wiring
Has any one got a ford 302 engine up and running?I need to what the firing order is for each coil pack.My engine backfires and quits.I tried the order thats in the edis plugwire section.It is an older 302 not and H.O. newer engine.
Hello,
Did you figure out the connections yet?
If you know the firing order of your engine you should be able to figure it out. A quick google search yielded a firing order of 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8 for the ford 302.
You will want to connect each coil pack "half" to cylinders which fire 360 degrees apart. For example, with the firing order above:
coil 1: 1 and 6
coil 2: 5 and 3
coil 3: 4 and 7
coil 4: 2 and 8
I'm not a Ford V8 expert, so make sure you have the correct firing order in hand.
Regards,

Even if you have a 351W or 302HO cam in there it's still good.
The 351W & 302HO order is 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8 but the coilpack connections are really the same
coil 1: 1 and 6
coil 2: 3 and 5
coil 3: 7 and 4
coil 4: 2 and 8
and swapping ends on coils 2 & 3 has no effect.
That's also correct for 302C, 351C, 400C and 400M together with just about every Ford V8 made.
On a wasted spark coilpack Ford V8, one configuration does it all. Wonderful, hey!
