The 1 6 5 4 3 2 firing order for my 1989 Dodge Dakota 3.9 engine made it backfire. Is it possible that some of these engines may have a different firing order?

original-undefined-undefined-0.jpg All the diagrams I see for the 3.9 show the same. However, some show a 60 degree advance in orientation of the cap, i.e. the number 1 position is at number 2. Try moving the wires counter clockwise one position.

If you began with a non running engine, I suggest you manually bar over the crankshaft until cylinder 1 is at TDC of the compression stroke. Then remove the distributor cap. The rotor should be pointing directly at distributor tower number 1 position.
