What are the cylinder numbers chev v8 - 1989 Chevrolet K1500

There were only three stock engines installed in 1958, a 235 cu in 6 cylinder engine, a 265 cu in V8, and a 383 cu in V8. If the engine is a 6, it's the first listed. If it's a V8, the 265 and 283 look identical, the only difference being that the 283 has a larger bore. I can't tell you by the block casting which it is.

Can be several things, google your vehicle, + self diagnostics by key!

Richard,

Look on the intake manifold next to the cylinder head ....or on the plug wire. There is usually a number on a tag that tell you what cylinder it is .

depends on the number of cylinders
for a 4 cylinder 1342 or 1243
for a 6 cylinder 153624
for v8 in depends if it is ford or chev as they differ
best that you go on line and google the make and model of the engine and look for firing order
It is very hard to give a better answer when you did not proving any information

it all depends on if you have a v6 or a v8 under the hood... v6-1,6,5,4,3,2 with number one at the front right engine cylinder and number two on the left front engine cylinder, number one on the distributor cap should be at 9 o' clock when looking at the engine from the front... v8-1,8,4,3,6,5,7,2 also number 1 cylinder at the engine's front driver's side, with number 2 cylinder on the passenger side most front cylinder, number one on the distributor cap should be at 7 o' clock when looking at the front of the engine... also both distributor shafts run clockwise, so should your firing order... or ya bang...

Most all Chev or GMC v8 engines use the firing order of 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2. You have to find where #1 is on the distributor cap which is usually closest to #1 cylinder then looking toward the back of the engine go clock-wise to install the rest. Don't get too close to the headers. Plastic melts!

Sorry for this picture being so small but if you go to LMC Truck .com you can see what all the numbers and letters your VIN number stand for.

To know what size of motor you have in the vehicle, you need the LETTERS that are stamped on the engine itself. The locations are:

For an inline 6:

The six cylinder engine letters are stamped on a pad on the right side of the engine at the rear of the distributor-
230 CID 6 CYL---TA, TE, OR TG
292 CID 6 CYL---UH OR UT

For a V-8:

The V8 engine letters are stamped on a pad immediately forward of the right hand cylinder head (driver's side head)-
283 CID 8 CYL---WA AND WE

There is no 350 CID installed in '65 in the Chevy.

Also, this info is for a truck....is your question here for a truck or car?

The letter is the engine configuration, the number is the number of cylinders.

V is a V shaped engine.
W is basically two Vs put together
I is inline
F or H is a flat/horizontal (used by Porsche and Subaru).

There are currently no V4 engines in cars. The Inline configuration greatly increases power over the V configuration, so for tiny engines Inlines are used.

V8= 8 cylinders... lot of power..lousy gas mileage
V6= 6 cylinders..not as much power as a V8 but better gas mileage..
V4= 4 cylinders...not as much power as a V8 or V6..but gets ALOT better mileage..

Hope this a little help for you...

You didn't post your engine size so please use the appropriate diagram:

Take your pick... Just about any engine between 275 and 400 cubic inches will be a good replacement.
