The firing order for a Dodge 318cid/5.2L is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 clockwise rotation.
Cylinders are numbered like this.
Pass side 2-4-6-8 front to rear.
Driver side 1-3-5-7 front to rear.
The firing order is probably forged into the intake manifold. Number one tower on the distributor cap is the one facing the number one plug or the driver-side headlight.
Distributor rotor at Number 1 plug terminal points to front intake bolt on left side of engine.

SOURCE: how to replace water pump on 1995 dodge dakato 5.2 liter V8

When I do those I find it's easier to get some of the stuff out of the way. Fan shroud, Alternator, AC compressor(don't remove AC hoses just swing it over to the side) and the AC/alternator mount bracket. If you don't have the special hose clamp plyers they are worth buying. (those clamps are difficult with regular plyers) The fan clutch has a special wrench which is thinner. When you start the job break loose the fan clutch before you remove the belt. It keeps tension on the pulley. The nut is normal threading and usually comes loose with a sharp rap of the hammer on the fan clutch wrench.
Here is an illustration of the water pump bolts. I hope this helps you out. let me know how it goes.6f7219e.gif

What is the engine power of the truck dodge d 500 of the year 1964 ?

The D-500 had a maximum gross weight rating of 19,500 pounds, and could have a 14-ton hoist with extension boom. The standard engine was the 225 slant six, with 318 and 361 V8s optional. The new LA series 273 V8, lighter but as powerful as the old A-series 318, was optional.

1985 dodge pick up that cranks but won't start

Need to have the basics: air, fuel, fire. Does carb shoot gas down carb barrel when you pump the throttle? Do you have a good spark when turning over? Air you should have. Pull a spark plug or two and see if they're wet. Leave one out, connected to plug wire, and have base well grounded, crank it and see if you've a good spark (no gas fumes around when you do this!). Make sure plug wires are going to the right plugs.

1990 DODGE W150 5.2L 318 V8 TBI CKP SENSOR WTF

I looked at wiring diagram for your year and engine size, It didn't show a crank sensor. I believe you do have a cam sensor in your distributor. If that is the problem? My info on your model year isn't great.
