Note:
To clarify these seemingly complex firing patterns, write your firing order into
the appropriate engine setup in
Section C.3
and wire them accordingly.
C.3.a. Common Engine Setups
Engine: Chevy V8
Firing Order: 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2
Coil Firing Order:
A1 A2 B1 B2 A1 A2 B1 B2
Engine Firing Order:

C.3.b. Special Note for Coil-Per-Plug Applications
The following engines utilize a coil-per-plug ignition setup:
4-strokes:
1-cyl,
2-cyl
180
o
, 3-cyl (all), 4-cyl odd fire
Rotaries:
ALL
2-strokes:
ALL
For these applications, it will be necessary to use our single tower coils, as shown in
Figure C.4. 4
