What's a better firing order? 289 or 302
 
I'm looking to get a new cam for my 66 289. Is a cam with a 289 or 302 firing order better? Is there a difference in performance? Sound? etc.

Thanks

Not really much difference. The firing order was changed on the 351W to help the crank with consecutive loading from the 289/302 firing order.

Yep... older 302s and 289s have the same firing order... The 351W firing order is the different one. Its my take that the 351 firing order is the superior one for the reason Gearhead mentioned.

Little out of the way question here, not having anything to do with firing orders.....

Phillyfanfrombirth, why that handle?? Reason I'm asking, I'm originally from Phila. Just curious.

Thanks,
