Have a gif, courtesy of Wikipedia.

It shows the firing order of an 18 cylinder Deltic engine (six banks of three cylinders).

You’re welcome.

Very cool! But of course the only firing order of any importance is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2.

Wat?

One of these, multiplied by six. Yes, I know it makes your head hurt.

Good point but I would say that since 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 was used by a lot more, and different, engines than that (even AMC used it) it is still the One True Order. We will pay no attention to the heresy that is the LS engines.

Just looked it up on Wikipedia. That is fascinating.

And all designed with pencil, paper and slide rule. The only electronic assistance was the light over the drawing desk.

It’s even more complex than it looks because they typically had six banks of three cylinders, each of which was so arranged that one cylinder fired every 20°.
