I'm about to hook up my plug wires and I'm not sure what number each cylinder is. the coil pack is numbered but not the engine so I know this is probably a repetitious question but what are the cylinder numbers on the 3800 ? Any diagrams would be awesome. Thanks to all. This forum is full of such helpful , nice , beautiful people. Louis

A quick look up on the internet (hopefully it's correct): In a Fiero 2,4,6 would be closet to the trunk and 1,3,5 would be on against the firewall with #1 being at the front of the engine.
Yes but this is a 3800sc that is being swapped into a fiero.
I'm sure many know here the plug wires go.

Can someone who's completed a 3800 sc swap please chime in !?!?

I'll "try" to make this easier. Except for Ford, on V engines there is an odd side and an even side. 1,3,5 2,4,6 Ford likes 1,2,3 4,5,6. Except for International gas engines, the head/cylinder that is closest to the front or timing cover is no.1 Most 60 degree engines 2.8 3.1 3.4 the rear/right bank has no.1. Most 90 degree V engines the left/front bank is no.1 Except Ford. US engines. Looking from the drivers side into the engine bay 2.8 no.1 is the one to the right/trunk side. 3800 no.1 to the left/firewall side. 2.8 no.1 closest to the dogbone. 3800 no.1 closest to the battery. 2.8 firing order is easy 123456 3.8 165432
Oh please don't be sorry... I thank you all for your help. I am very appreciative.
As I said being that the engine is still on the stand your picture is very valuable.
