# 1 position on the distributor cap faces AWAY from the engine
The spark plug firing order is ( 1 - 5 - 3 - 6 - 2 - 4 )
The distributor rotor turns CLOCKWISE
If it is the same as the 250 straight six cylinder used in some of the GM cars in 1972 # 1 position on the distributor cap faces towards the front of the engine The distributor rotor turns CLOCKWISE The spark plug firing order is ( 1 - 5 - 3 - 6 - 2 - 4 )
no1 on the distributor always points towards the no one cylinder
Easiest way to find it is to set #1 piston at TDC and remove the distributor cap to see where the rotor is pointing. It should be pointing to #1 cylinder position in relation to the distributor cap.
The marked # 1 position on the distributor cap faces to the REAR
The marked # 1 position on the distributor cap of the 4.9 liter / 300 cubic inch Ford straight six cylinder faces AWAY from the engine The distributor rotor turns CLOCKWISE and the firing order is : 1-5-3-6-2-4
No 1 cylinder is in the 5 : oclock position - 18436572 clock wise.
The marked # 1 position on the distributor cap faces to the FRONT and center of the engine
There should be a mark on the distributor or it's switch plate that indicates where the rotor should point for cylinder 1. If you look at the distributor from the front of the vehicle, the closest center position should be for cylinder 2. Clockwise 1/8 th turn from that should be cylinder 1 position, but double check against the indicator mark that should be present.
Follow wire from # 1 cylinder to cap. check position of rotor. see link
The #1 cylinder is ALWAYS right front when looking over the radiator. Driver's side front. Can't help you with the distributor. Sorry
Inside the distributor on my 94 B250 is a plastic piece that covers the bottom of the distributor. Ihas a wire coming out of it. On it, it has a mark and says number one cylinder, or something like that. But it is there.
On the 5.0 liter and 5.8 liter V8 engines , # 1 on the distributor cap faces to the REAR and slightly towards the drivers side On the 4.9 liter straight 6 cylinder , # 1 on the distributor cap faces AWAY from the engine
