Cylinder 1 is the first/front cylinder on the right side of the engine looking from the front of the car. That bank is 1-3-5-7 and the left bank is 2-4-6-8.
Cylinder #1 is front on drivers side. Drivers side is 1-3-5-7 Pass side is 2-4-6-8.
To set the distributor on a 455 Pontiac, first ensure that the engine is at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke for the number one cylinder. Align the rotor to point toward the number one cylinder terminal on the distributor cap. Next, insert the distributor into the engine, ensuring it seats properly and the rotor aligns with the terminal. Finally, secure the distributor and adjust the timing with a timing light to the recommended specification.
How do you set distubitor timing on pontiac 455?
The correct distributor firing sequence for a 1971 Pontiac GTO with a 455 engine is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2. The number one cylinder is located at the front of the engine on the driver's side. When setting the timing, ensure that the rotor is pointed towards the number one terminal on the distributor cap when the engine is at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke for that cylinder.
No, they are completely different.
The Pontiac 400 has a bore of 4.12 and a stroke of 3.75. The Pontiac 455 has a bore of 4.15 and a stroke of 4.21. The 455 cylinder heads will have larger combustion chambers than the same year 400 heads to achieve comperable compression ratios on the larger engine. The blocks are physically the same size, but 455 has larger main bearings than the 400. 455=3.25 400=3.00, so crankshafts will not interchange. Cams,heads,intakes,exhaust,connecting rods,push rods,rocker arms...etc will all interchange.
No, they are not the same engine. The Oldsmobile 455 had a bore and stroke of: 4.126 X 4.25 The Pontiac 455 had a bore and stroke of: 4.152 X 4.21
Answer Anonymously What is the diagram and firing order for a 76 Pontiac trans am 455 engine?
Sure it will. Pontiac used the same block for all of it's 326 to 455 engines.
Same block, should fir right in
The 1987 Trans Am didn't have a 455
