What the F do I do now?

Sometimes I just pull off the valvecover and verify that the motor is in fact at TDC on the compression stroke of #1 When at TDC of the exhaust stroke the exhaust valve will be closing and the intake opening, Next time up is the compression stroke both valves are not moving. The hiss method works pretty well if you can reach the #1 hole ok. I just learned that #1 is the front pass side cyl, not drivers side like my Chevy. The non EFI firing order is the same for Chevy and Ford if you de code the numbering system, and starting point. I still can't figure out why they changed the firing order for EFI motors.
