Here's how to identify it:
* Firing Order: The firing order for a Ford 460 is 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8. This means cylinder number one fires first.
* Distributor: The distributor cap has markings that correspond to the firing order. Find the number one marking on the distributor cap, and trace that wire back to the spark plug. That spark plug will be connected to cylinder number one.
* Valve Cover: The valve cover on the passenger side will have markings or casting numbers that indicate the cylinder locations.
Remember to consult your Ford 460 engine's specific service manual or repair guide for detailed information and diagrams.
