A 91 engine will not fit in a 98 Escort. The 91 engine is from a generation II Escort whereas a 98 engine is from a generationIII Escort.
1-3-4-2 Distributor rotates counterclockwise.
The timing for a 1996 ford escort 4 cylinder engine should be 6 degrees BTDC. If it's a CVH model, 12 degrees. If it's on a distributorless engine or programmed ignition system, it can't be adjusted. Contact breaker distance should be (on a bosch distributor) .40 to .50 mm. On a Lucas distributor, .40 to .49 mm.
The 1997 Escort LX 1.9 does not have a Distributor cap.. the plug wires go directly from the coil assembly to the spark plugs.

Yes, the engine in a 2000 Escort is NOT an interference engine.
The thermostat is located on the side of the engine. It housing is mounted in front of the distributor and connects to the upper radiator hose.
