The 3.0 L - V6 engine has a distributor cap on the 1993 Ford Ranger The 4 cylinder and 4.0 L - V6 engines are EDIS ( electronic distributorless ignition system )
On top of the distributor at the rear of the engine ( it's the cap that has all the spark plug wires connected to it )
Number are gone
A 1994 Ford Ranger has no distributor cap__it uses Distributorless Ignition__the ignition coils are located on the right side of the engine in plain sight (your left when facing the engine )
The marked # 1 position on the distributor cap faces AWAY from the engine
The marked # 1 position on the distributor cap faces to the REAR
That would depend on which engine you have in your Ford Ranger , a 4 cylinder or a 6 cylinder . The 4 cylinder engines used in the Ford Ranger have a firing order 1 - 3 - 4 - 2 and the distributor rotates clockwise . All the 6 cylinder engines used in a Ford Ranger have a firing order 1 - 4 - 2 - 5 - 3 - 6 and if they have a distributor the rotation is clockwise
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
The # 1 position on the distributor cap for a Ford 460 cubic inch ( 7.5 liter ) faces to the REAR and slightly towards the drivers side
On a Ford 360 cubic inch V8 - # 1 position on the distributor cap faces to the rear and slightly towards the drivers side
The 3.8 liter V6 engine has a distributor cap and rotor in a 1997 Ford Thunderbird
