hi guys need some info...on a 428 pontiac is number 1 cylinder on the drivers or passenger side? someone told me that the side with number 1 will protrude a little more than the otherside....true or false?and timing would be 4 degrees? thanks .....see you at pony!!!!
on a Pontiac block, #1 is the forward cylinder on the drivers (left) side. While it also has a 18436572 firing order (same as small and big block Chev), the distributor turns counter-clockwise.
thanks what would happen if i set my timing with number 2 plug.....cause i think thats what happened....seems to run fine pings a bity..but ill have to do it again....i will get it yet......

This is correct.

This is wrong. It is true for a chevy but not a pontiac. The most forward is the front on the pass side bank, which is #2. The driver's side bank is set back, the opposite way around from a Chevy. The order of the rods on the crank is, front to back, 21436587. Hence the common Pontiac rebuilding error of hanging a piston the wrong way on a rod.
Number 1 is the front cylinder on the driver's side.
and timing would be 4 degrees?
Close enough to get going. Remember the dizzy spins the opposite way from a Chevy too.
thanks .....see you at pony!!!!
