Some firing questions...

What's the firing order on a 2.8 Firebird. And, where is the coil on the 2.8 as I cannot find it.

Here ya go. Found the firing order online:

1983 Pontiac Firing Orders

As for the coil, you should be able to trace the wire to it. The center tower on your distributor cap goes to your coil.

Hey man, thanks for the link. I went on a whim and guessed it and it was acually right.. Anyways, my coil has been stolen, and I have no idea where it goes ... Is there a wiring diagram or a detailed pic of the v6 2.8 coil and stuff?

That's not all they stole.. They stole the guts of my distributor... Now I have to find an early 2.8 Distributer with the vacuum on it..
