In what order do the wires go on dist cap?
Plugs and wires were already off when I bought the car just trying to put new plugs and wires on it, 455 rocket. Just wanted to know in what order do the wires go on the cap.

Every red blooded American boy should know those numbers by heart.
I have since since before I could walk.
The password in war should be "Tell me the GM V8 firing order or I'll shoot!".
I have two girls but if my wife ever had a boy his name was going to be 18436572 Wolf.

I'm glad to see that you guys finally have the firing order memorized.
Backfiring usually indicates that the timing is way off. As noted, get the #1 cylinder (driver's side front) to TDC on the compression stroke, look at where the rotor is pointed relative to the distributor cap, start with the #1 plug wire on that tower, and go CCW from there. The exact location of #1 on the cap doesn't matter, just that the rotor points to it when that cylinder is on compression.

Yes - I did the same thing - I was out about 1/8 of a turn on the distributer which put the timing way off and caused the backfire.
If you want to get ****, the chassis service manual has a diagram of exactly where the wires go into the cap.
