Hey Brad, As far as I know the firing order for chevy v-8's, small or big block, are the same. Most intakes have them on them somewhere but just in case your's doesn't they go 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2. Usually running in a clockwise direction. Easy to check with dist. cap off. Let us know if you need any more info.
Happy to help :twisted:
