One time back in college I was helping a friend swap motors from a Monte into a Camaro-only had the weekend to do it since he lived in a college residence house with only a 2-car garage slab-but no garage. So long story short we thrashed it all for 2 days and got er done-until we went to start the motor up....it started and ran...ROUGH but it ran. Then I double checked everything....after finding #1 on the cap, I had ran the firing order as:

1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8

To this day we still laugh about it....that was back in 1997/98!
