In which order does spark plug wires go in on a 1988 Lincoln town car?

The firing order for a 1988 Lincoln Town Car's 5.0L V8 engine is 1-5-4-8-6-3-7-2.

However, simply knowing the firing order isn't enough to determine the plug wire routing. The physical placement of the spark plug wires on the distributor cap and the engine's spark plug arrangement will determine the actual order of connection. You MUST consult a repair manual specific to your 1988 Lincoln Town Car. A diagram in the manual will clearly show you the correct wire routing.

Trying to figure it out without a diagram risks misfiring and potential engine damage. A Chilton's or Haynes repair manual for your specific year and model will be invaluable.
