A lot of these Ford 351s have the Holley 4160 carburetor, which is a vaccuum secondary. That said, even within the model, there are different variations. You order your rebuild kit based on the numbers stamped on the choke horn. Holley tech support can help you with that.
I'm thinking firing order should not really be based on who marinized it ie (Washuka vs PCM etc) but the actual engine manufacturer. I found 1-8-4-5-6-2-7-3 for RH Ford 351s in the PCM manual, in the reference section of this site. There is also a Washuka manual. On page 10 (page 12 on the scanned pdf) it said there should be a plate somewhere on the motor that gives the timing. This engine parts site: Engine site gives the same 1-8-4-5-6-2-7-3 for 351 Right Handers. |

The only other order for a RH 351 is: 1-8-7-3-6-2-4-5. I don't know which is the older of the two but for a Waukeshaw, it would be the older. Might as well give it a try.
The distributors for a LH or a RH both turn the same direction. It's the gear on the end that's different. |

Pete, I do believe its only the older 260/289/302's that had that 18736245 FO. 351's have always been 18456273. Starting sometime around '72-73, all Windsors got the 351w FO. If it runs, but not well, then check dwell and timing before you get too far. A picture would help us ID what carb you have. If there is a LIST number stamped on the choke horn, that would be definitive. |

Gents,
Thanks a million for your guidance. "Old Speed" is up and running! Took her to the lake yesterday and went for a shake down. Life is good. I genuinely appreciate the tips. Firing order (burned in my memory now) 18456273. Yes Pete, it was on the tag! Leaking fuel was simply the o rings between the two bowls. Dry as a bone now. :) |
