The 426 HEMI firing order is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2.

The additional information that is needed is to know how the cylinders are numbered. Looking at the cutaway engine above, the cylinders are numbered 1-3-5-7 on the left side front to rear. Remember that the left side of the engine is the side on the left side of the car. The other cylinders are numbered 2-4-6-8 on the right side front to rear.

A way to remember the cylinder numbering is that the distributor leans "to" the number "two" cylinder. Also, the spark plug wire going to the number "two" cylinder is "too" short to reach anywhere else.

There is no other engine in the world more famous for performance than the 426 HEMI !!
