How do I check the timing on an 1982 F150, it won't start, just turns over, getting fuel no fire/spark?

SOURCE: my 1982 ford f250 with a 351 windsor engine wont

Is the timing on or off?

SOURCE: where is the fuel pump

Probably in the gas tank.

SOURCE: i need the correct firing order diagram for a 1982

The firing order is ( 1 - 3 - 7 - 2 - 6 - 5 - 4 - 8 )

The distributor rotor turns COUNTERCLOCKWISE

The marked # 1 position on the distrubutor cap faces to the REAR and slightly towards the drivers side

The engine cylinders / spark plug locations are numbered :

firewall

4 - 8

3 - 7

2 - 6

1 - 5

front

If someone has altered the disstributer, pull #1 plug, put finger over hole, turn engine over until compression on that cyl, line up timing marks (ball park only) and rotor will be pointing at the correct terminal for #1 cylinder plug wire connection, in the cap.

• The EEC supplies power to the injectors. So you want to check the EEC relay and see if it is bad. This relay is brown and on the left side of the engine bay. The yellow wire and the red and green wire should have power to them. It's either the relay or a broken power feed wire in the harness. The red wire is the key wire to test for 12 volts with the key on.
