What is the Cylinder numbering on a 2000 Lincoln town car 4.6 liter engine?

The 4.6L engine in a 2000 Lincoln Town Car uses a standard firing order of 1-5-4-8-6-3-7-2. However, cylinder numbering itself isn't always directly visible on the engine without removing components. The best way to determine the physical cylinder location relative to the number is to use a repair manual specific to that year and model, which will have diagrams showing the cylinder arrangement.
