I don't know but you probably need to provide a little more information about the engine to get a good answer - like compression, iron vs aluminum heads, camshaft, induction system, etc |

In the spirit of full disclosure, I had them in the 5-6-7-8 order for years, without any cross-firing problems at all, and then Jerry harangued me in to putting them in to the order that you see below. I always do what Jerry tells me to do.

If you want an FE engine to be original, set it up as Ford did it---------------
