Help me Please
I puled the spark wires off of my engine because it was giving a pop and the Camaro book i have says that it is supposed to fire 123456 but i put it on the and now it wont run when it was rebuilt could the mechanics have changed the fireing order? if so what other possible orders are there

I now have it set to 135642 and it will at least run but it is very rough and it pops every now and then.

you should have 135 on the pass side of the engine from the front of it to the back. on the driver side it should be 246, from front to back. find #1 on the cap and it goes around clockwise. if it still pops and you have the wires on correctly, there is something else wrong. make sure the plug wires arent all tangled up either, it can cause a crossfire.
