Ford 200 cu in straight six where is number one cylinder position on distributor cap?

On a Ford 200 cubic inch straight-six engine, cylinder #1 is located at the front of the engine, on the passenger side (right side in a right-hand drive vehicle).

However, the distributor cap's numbering doesn't directly correspond to the engine's physical cylinder arrangement. The firing order dictates the position. The firing order for the Ford 200 straight-six is typically 1-5-3-6-2-4.

Therefore, number one on the distributor cap will correspond to the position for cylinder #1 in that firing order. You'll need to locate the number "1" on the distributor cap itself, and that's the location for cylinder 1's spark.
