Took 400 motor out and put a 360 in...How do I hook up wiring to get it to fire

Did you change over the computer with it? If not, it won't run right even if it did fire. Computers are programmed specific to engine displacement.

Best thing go to www.reliable-store.com they have got books on every vehicle and also how to service/repair it,

service/repair/owner's/maintenance manual with
parts info, fuse box, gear box, PCV, torque specs,coiling, wiring diagrams, electrical diagrams, fuse diagrams, error codes, etc everything

Worth it

sorry, but is 5.9 the same as 400 cu in?
The 400 and 383 has the distributor in front. The 360 has it in back.

360

The easiest thing to forget is a ground strap. They are usually a flat braided un-coated cable at the back of the motor. When me and my brother changed out a ranger transmission we spent 2 days and $400 on new electronics. When we took it to the shop, they could not get a diagnostic reader to work. $2.76 for a cable, and $75 for labor, the truck fired up.

FIRING ORDERS NOTE: To avoid confusion, remove and tag the spark plug wires one at a time, for replacement. If a distributor is not keyed for installation with only one orientation, it could have been removed previously and rewired. The resultant wiring would hold the correct firing order, but could change the relative placement of the plug towers in relation to the engine. For this reason it is imperative that you label all wires before disconnecting any of them. Also, before removal, compare the current wiring with the accompanying illustrations. If the current wiring does not match, make notes in your book to reflect how your engine is wired.
