the firing order is 1-2-3-4-5-6 and the #1 cylinder is the one closest to the trunk.

the cylinders are matched as follows

The # 1 is NOT closest to battery. The #1 is the right side of the head as viewed from the trunk!

Front of car /\
_6_4_2_

_5_3_1_

Trunk \/

Firing Order = 123456

FYI,

GM V-6 and v-8 engines

The number one cylinder is the one closest to the crank pulley. Usually the cylinders are offset from one side to the other.
