Ford 6.7 Power Stroke Firing Order Diagram
6.7L Power Stroke V8 firing order 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8, cylinder numbering, interactive diagram, connector-routing notes, troubleshooting, FAQs.
The 6.7L Power Stroke V8 firing order is 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8. Passenger bank is 1-2-3-4 and driver bank is 5-6-7-8, front to rear.
The 6.7L Power Stroke V8 firing order is 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8. Passenger bank is 1-2-3-4 and driver bank is 5-6-7-8, front to rear. The order is simple to print; the difficult part is applying it to the correct physical cylinders. Ford's Power Stroke technical reference publishes both the sequence and physical bank numbering, preventing a gasoline Modular/Coyote diagram from being misapplied.
A firing-order diagram should answer three separate questions: which cylinder is which, what sequence the crankshaft uses, and how the ignition system reaches each cylinder. Injector coding, connector identification, and relative-compression diagnosis require the exact model-year service procedure. The interactive drawing below keeps the order visible while the table preserves the numbering notes in crawlable text.
Before disconnecting anything, photograph the harness or leads, label both ends, and identify the engine from a durable source. That five-minute audit is faster than diagnosing a crossed pair after the engine has been reassembled.

Reading the 6.7L Power Stroke V8 diagram correctly
Passenger bank is 1-2-3-4 and driver bank is 5-6-7-8, front to rear. Read the vehicle as installed and use the manufacturer's left/right convention, not the side from which you happen to be standing. The first cylinder listed in 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8 begins the sequence but does not define a universal connector position.
Ford's Power Stroke technical reference publishes both the sequence and physical bank numbering, preventing a gasoline Modular/Coyote diagram from being misapplied. Injector coding, connector identification, and relative-compression diagnosis require the exact model-year service procedure. On coil-on-plug engines, use the diagram for cylinder identity and diagnosis; the PCM, not a physical distributor cap, schedules spark.
Which 6.7L Power Stroke V8 firing order applies?
Ford's Power Stroke technical reference publishes both the sequence and physical bank numbering, preventing a gasoline Modular/Coyote diagram from being misapplied. This distinction matters because the engine can look nearly identical from above. Treat the camshaft or engine assembly as the authority when parts have been mixed. A firing order cast into an intake, copied from a generic decal, or remembered from another V8 is not enough to identify a modified engine.
The application table separates the order, cylinder banks, and ignition-system notes. Read all columns before routing. The first number in 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8 is cylinder 1, but the physical No. 1 terminal can appear in different clock positions when a distributor has been installed on a different gear tooth.
