=======================================
My Chilton's agrees with the OP's book on 165432 IF it is a 4.3L. Left
bank is 1-3-5 front to back, right bank is 2-4-6 front to back. #1 on
distributor is straight to front, clockwise rotation.

"If?"

The 4.3 wasn't offered in the "S" chassis in 1987. It's a 2.8
same as was used in the FWD cars, firing order is 1-2-3-4-5-6
Odd number cylinders are on passenger side, evens on drivers side.
