Where on the distributor cap is number 1 located for a 1983 Ford Econoline van with 5.8 engine F- E 350 van?

The number 1 cylinder location on the distributor cap of a 1983 Ford Econoline van with a 5.8L engine (like the F-350) is typically at the top, or very near the top, of the distributor cap, facing the front of the vehicle.

However, this is not guaranteed. There's no single universal standard. The best way to be certain is:

1. Consult a repair manual specific to your 1983 Ford Econoline E-350 with the 5.8L engine. This manual will have a diagram of the distributor cap showing the correct firing order and the corresponding cylinder number location.

2. Check the engine itself. The firing order is printed on a sticker somewhere on the engine block or valve cover. Once you know the firing order (usually 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8), you can trace that order around the distributor cap to locate #1.

Simply relying on a general rule can lead to misfiring and engine damage. Use a reliable repair manual to be absolutely sure.
