Ford 5.0 351 400 V8 Cylinder Numbering & Distributor Rotation Diagram

This document is a graphical schematic (no accompanying text) showing the cylinder numbering and distributor orientation for a V8 engine, viewed from above with the fan/front of the engine at the top. The right-hand cylinder bank (passenger side as drawn) is numbered 1 through 4 from front to rear, and the left-hand bank is numbered 5 through 8 from front to rear. A distributor cap is drawn at the front-center of the engine with eight plug-wire terminals; the number 1 terminal is marked at approximately the 8 o'clock position, and a red arrow inside the cap shows the rotor turning counter-clockwise. Per the upload filename, this represents the Ford 5.0L / 351 / 400 V8 firing order layout, though no engine identification, firing order sequence numbers, year, or part numbers are printed on the diagram itself. A reader can learn the cylinder bank numbering convention, the location of the #1 distributor cap terminal, and the direction of distributor rotation, which together allow correct routing of spark plug wires when the firing order sequence is known from another source.
