freeman35 Did you have to buy the special pulley puller or is there another method?

I used the pulley puller, its so easy with the right tool

I got it off but it was stubborn as hell!

Maybe it's in here somewhere... but I just changed my spark plug wires and I was trying to be careful in putting the wires in the same way I removed them but I feel like my engine shakes a little and I'm not sure if I put all the wires in the right spot! Can anyone help point me to a thread to see what the firing order is on a 350 is so I can be certain?

the last one I had wouldn't even come off with a puller, I bent and broke the tool. I ended up selling the heads off of the engine with the pump and bracket still attached

18436572, it should be stamped right on your intake in case you forget! counter clockwise. 1 is drivers front most cylinder and goes 357 towards the back. pass side starting in the front is 2468

This is probably a VERY stupid question, but what is the name for the cylinder shaped piece that sits under the valve cup and retainer? It's inside the spring, but between the cup and the seal.

When I tore down my old motor that I just removed, I noticed that this piece on my #2 cylinder had grenaded.

Might be a screw on cap covering it.

Thanks, I'll see if I can locate that tonight.

Is there a way to tell if I have the MPFI vs CSFI without taking the intake off?

I'm not sure,it's all under the plenum.Maybe someone else knows.
