    According to the 1963 Chevrolet Truck Shop Manual (Page 6-14) both the 230 and 292 have the same firing order 1-5-3-6-2-4. The cylinders are numbered from front (1) to rear (6).

    Other tuneup specs from the manual (Page 6-3) are as follows:

    Spark Plugs - AC 46N
    Gap - .035
    Dwell - 31 to 34 degrees
    Point Gap - .019 (new) .016 (used)
    Timing - 4 degrees BTDC (at idle speed with vacuum advance line disconnected and plugged.
    Idle Speed (manual)450-500 rpm
    Idle Speed (powerglide)450-500 with powerglide in drive.

    Have fun!
