in the engine compartment hidden under the valve chamber
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
there is no hard fast rule here. but typically with the cap off and number one cylinder at TDC on compression stroke. the rotor will point at number one cylinder on the engine.
The marked # 1 position on the distributor cap faces to the FRONT and center of the engine
Viewed from the top looking down on the engine with the center of the cap being 12 o'clock coincident with the centerline of the engine, number 1 is at the 11 o'clock position.
The distributor is located on the rear of the engine next to the firewall on a 2.0 4 cylinder.
On a Ford V8 engine , # 1 on the distributor cap faces to the REAR and slightly towards the drivers side That depends greatly on what year, make, model, engine. Please ask a new question with more info to get a better answer.
The number 1 position on the distributor cap of a Ford 5.0 liter / 302 is : It faces to the REAR and towards the number 7 engine cylinder ( in every picture I have seen in repair manuals ) The engine cylinder locations are numbered : firewall 4 - 8 3 - 7 2 - 6 1 - 5 front of vehicle
The distributor cap is on top of the distributor which is on the driver's side of the engine ( where the spark plug wires connect ) on the Ford 4.9liter / 300 cubic inch straight six cylinder engine
umm, 8?
The #1 cylinder is ALWAYS right front when looking over the radiator. Driver's side front. Can't help you with the distributor. Sorry
The distributor cap should have the number 1 marked on it. The distributor cap is installed with the # 1 position facing the engine , slightly towards the drivers side of the engine
