Please let us know if things are working or not. This is still somewhat a work in progress so don't be too surprised if things magically appear from one visit to the next.
yep, one at a time, makes it much much harder to mess up. If the rotor did spin the wrong way, well, that would just be bizzare. Its theoretically possible but you'd need a specially made engine with a number of specific parts to make that happen. Even if the motor was a reverse rotation type, the trans just wouldn't work. They never made reverse rotation AODs. Reverse engines are almost exclusively used in boats. I suppose there may be some other application, but I don't know what it is.
These aren't retarded like some engines with aluminum heads or any of that nonsense where theres a serious risk of stripping things or breaking stuff. You might want to put a small daub of antiseize on the threads of the new plugs, just to be safe.
Those are the firing orders for the different versions of the Windsor engine.
The 351 Windsor and the 5.0 high output share the same firing order, the reason escapes me. Likely smoothness or power output. 13726548.
The 5.0 standard output shares the firing order with its older Windsor cousins, the 289/260/221. I don't know about the 255 but probably.
It's the order the cylinders are attached via plug wires to the distributor cap so they fire in the proper sequence and in time. start at 1 (the rotor should be pointing to the #1 cylinder, the first in the left bank) and work counter clockwise. It's kind of a headache to do from scratch so that's why you do them one at a time

the stock carb often causes little popping hesitations when it's not warmed up. That just means you have to warm it up more in park before driving off. If it's a noisy, concussive "pop" from the intake, yeah that's not right.
