Cylinder numbering on 1996 Lincoln engine?

The 1996 Lincoln Town Car used a Modular 4.6L V8 engine. Cylinder numbering on these engines follows a standard V8 pattern, but it's important to view it from the front of the engine (the crankshaft pulley end).

The numbering typically goes like this:

* Passenger side (Right side when facing the engine): 1-3-5-7

* Driver side (Left side when facing the engine): 2-4-6-8

Keep in mind that there may be slight variations depending on the specific orientation of the engine in the vehicle, but the above is the most common configuration. It's always best to double-check using a repair manual specific to your 1996 Lincoln Town Car's engine.
