Explanation of the 350 firing order engine diagram?   

The 350 has a place with the small block motor family. They are classified as small blocks or SBC because they are more modest than big block container engines. Also, the accurate sequence of 350 firing orders is like this 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2.

This is properly linked and shows that cylinder 1 turns on first, then cylinder 8, then 4, etc until all cylinders have been fired in a specific order. Cylinders are requested with a specific goal for mechanics and to differentiate them once they come out of the factory.

How does it perform?

As cylinders are properly organized and managed. All four tires work properly when the engine is linked with them. As it shows that the front right cylinder is 1. As every cylinder is linked with other odd numbers to make the engine work properly.

There are multiple substitutes as well ranging from most left to most right. To make it simpler always remember that the driver-side cylinders are odd, and traveler-side cylinders are even.
