Where can I find the firing order for a Pontiac 400?
The BoxWrench Engine Specs Database is a community resource for mechanics of all skill levels to access a reference library of Firing Orders, Distributor Rotation Directions and Block-Cylinder Numbering as well as Torque Specs, Timing Settings and Cylinder . What is the firing order on the top of the distributor for a Pontiac V8?
Where is cylinder number 1 on a Pontiac 400?
Note that the cylinder number 1 is the next driver in front of the engine (the same location on all V-engines) or just the first behind the power steering pump.
What kind of power supply does a Pontiac Trans Am use?
The second power supply for high fan speed is shown below. This extension is for Pontiac engines, which had their alternators on the driver’s side. The control harness is about one foot long, and separates into two plugs which connect to the compressor switch and the fan speed switch.
Where are the spark plug wires in the correct order?
If you still don’t understand, you can also visit your car dealer or service centre. You can always request them to explain the process of putting the spark plug wires into the correct order. As you know, the rotor located underneath the distributor cap. It can spin clockwise or anti-clockwise.

How does a distributor work on a Pontiac engine?
The distributor routes electrical voltage to the spark plugs at the appropriate crankshaft angle for optimal performance. Pontiac used a few different distributors in its production engines and a wide array is available on the aftermarket.
What should the spark lead be on a Pontiac V-8?
As piston speed increases, spark timing must occur earlier in the rotation cycle and a mechanical assembly within the distributor increases spark timing. Total maximum spark lead in a naturally aspirated Pontiac V-8 is generally between 30 and 40 degrees, and that can vary with combustion chamber type, compression ratio, and fuel octane.
Where do you connect the spark plug wire?
The cylinders are numbered and oriented differently depending on the make of the vehicle. Connect a spark plug wire between the number one cylinder and the distributor’s number one terminal.
How is the distributor cap connected to the spark plugs?
Picture the distributor cap as a crown that a king would wear. The points of the crown are where the distributor is connected to the spark plugs by spark plug wires. Each point connects to one spark plug, and each spark plug goes to one cylinder in your engine.
