Ford 4.2L V6 Cylinder Numbering & Spark Plug Wire Routing Diagram (A26864-A)
Service-manual diagram showing spark plug wire routing and numbered cylinder positions.
This scanned service illustration shows the cylinder numbering and spark plug wire routing for a Ford V6 engine (filed as '4.2 order' by the uploader). The upper diagram depicts the coil pack/wire terminal area viewed from above, with six numbered callouts (1 through 6) identifying which wire terminal corresponds to each cylinder, and an arrow indicating the front of the engine. The lower diagram is a schematic of the engine block viewed from above, showing the six cylinders arranged in two banks of three: cylinders 1, 2, and 3 on the right bank (front to rear) and cylinders 4, 5, and 6 on the left bank (front to rear). The only printed text in the document is the Ford illustration reference number A26864-A and the numeric callouts. A reader can use this figure to correctly identify cylinder positions and route spark plug wires from the coil pack to the proper cylinders during ignition service, tune-ups, or diagnostics. The document contains no written firing order sequence, torque specifications, or model/year applicability statements; all information is conveyed graphically.
