The firing order for a Dodge 318cid/5.2L is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 clockwise rotation.
Cylinders are numbered like this.
Pass side 2-4-6-8 front to rear.
Driver side 1-3-5-7 front to rear.
The firing order is probably forged into the intake manifold. Number one tower on the distributor cap is the one facing the number one plug or the driver-side headlight.
Distributor rotor at Number 1 plug terminal points to front intake bolt on left side of engine.
I was surprised to find Dodge still using a distributor on this engine. The firing order is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 and the cylinders on the driver side are 1-3-5-7.
Here is a firing order diagram and note the distributor cap latch positions between terminals 1 and 2 and 5 and 4, and let me know if you need any help to understand this diagram or if you require any further assistance.
Firing order 165432 Clockwise from #1. The cylinder numbers are as follows : From the front of the truck, on the drivers side
it is 1-3-5 , on the passenger side 2-4-6.
Hope this helps Tim
