Inliners International Forums General Discussion Ford Firing orders

Okay guys, I'm on the prowl for information here...

I would like to know some firing orders for Henry's inline sixes.

Henry had some different ideas when it came to firing orders, starting with the K-Model, which was 1-2-3-6-5-4.

We never had any of your flathead sixes here, what were they?

And what about the English ohv inline 6, the Zephyr/Zodiac engine?

The Falcon I should be able to sort myself, we've got them in abundance.

So, over to you experts on Ford...

I've now had a message telling me the Zephyr/Zodiac inline six has the firing order 1-5-3-6-2-4 like the rest of the world.

So can anyone tell me, please, about the flathead 6?

Hi Ray .,. .

We've had this discussion before on the boards:
walpolla's post on the Hall Scott six circa '07

It's really a matter of crank throw layout and dizzy rotation (clock-wise - counter) which usually corresponds to dizzy placement - passenger side or drivers side:


As I understand it the Ford 226 used the same firing order as the chevy 153624.
