Firing sequence - LT5 - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

secondchance · 08-01-2011

I remember a typical early Chevy V8 (I believe LT5 also) has firing sequence of 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2. Also recall distributor cap had 8 posts - one per cylinder. Meaning cylinders were firing one at a time. With LT5s having one coil per 2 cylinders, I presume one coil handles 1 & 8, 4 &3 and so on. Is this correct? Does this mean these pairs are fired simultaneously?
I just got curious.
