Rebuilding The Famous Ford Flathead book - misprint
 

You may want to be aware that on page 69 there is a misprint. Here's the book.

I have a 1981 edition of the same Ron Bishop's book.
It has a misprint of the firing order of the 1946-48 and 1949-53 Ford flathead engines on page 69.
It's printed as 15846372. That is incorrect.
Correct firing order is 15486372
I relied on this data in 1988 (when it drove me nuts) but never thought about it again until recently when I was working on my plug wires and timing.
Be sure to make the correction in your copy.
