Where is the location of the 6th cylinder in a 1996 mercury grand marquis 4.6 v8?

Answer 1

To answer your question directly, it is the second cylinder back from the front of the car on the driver's side of the engine. That is the #6 cylinder in a rear wheel drive FMC V8 of any type.

So, on all FMC engines, the #1 cylinder is always at the front of the engine (And on the left hand side of the engine in a V configuration).
