The firing order is V8 18436572 here is both the v6 and v8 engine (below).

v6 - Firing Order1-6-5-4-3-2

Here is a guide to show you how to tune up your car

https://www.2carpros.com/articles/how-to-tune-up-a-car-engine


Spark plug wire stats.


0-15 inch cable 3,000 - 10,000 ohms.
15-25 inch cable 4,000 - 15,000 ohms.
25-35 inch cable 6,000 - 20,000 ohms.
NOTE: Longer wires should measure about 5,000 to 10,000 ohms per foot.

Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Cheers, Ken

The firing order is 1 8 4 3 6 5 7 2 driverside head 1357 passenger 2468
get #1 cylinder up on compression stroke and see where the rotor is pointing this will be the start of your firing order goes clockwise
