It's different with every car, some are marked, but the best way to find out would be to find a firing order diagram.

It's wherever the last person who put the distributor in put it at. IF you want to know for sure then set your #1 cylinder at TDC and see where the rotor points to. It's either at that terminal or the one opposite of it. Usually the factory points the #1 to the front somewhere. your firing order is 165432 i think also. and the distributor turns CW i believe also too.

make your own number one cylinder prong. Put your number one cylinder at top dead center on the compression stroke. The prong that your distributor rotor is know pointing at is you new number one on your cap. continuing installing your plug wires in the proper firing order in a counter clockwise direction from your new number 1 spark plug wire.

Unplug the wires going into the distributor cap, be sure you know which wire goes to which terminal or your car will not start if they are wrong. Remove the 3 bolts that hold the plastic cap to the metal distributor. Put the new cap back on, replace the bolts, and plug the wires into the appropriate terminal.

Look at the spark plugs-- if one has no wire at the top, that is the problem- there should be a wire from each spark plug to the distributor cap.
Where is the Distributor cap on a Ford Contour?
I don't think your car has a distributor cap. I believe it has an electronic ignition and only has an ignition coil to deliver spark to the plugs. Where this is located, I do not know.
