Ford V8 Cylinder Numbering & Distributor Cap Firing Order Diagram

This document is a simple black-and-white schematic showing the cylinder numbering and distributor cap terminal arrangement for a Ford V8 engine. The engine is drawn as two banks of four cylinders each: one bank numbered 1 through 4 and the opposite bank numbered 5 through 8, with cylinder 1 and cylinder 5 at the same (front) end of the engine. In the lower right corner, a circular distributor cap diagram shows eight spark plug terminal positions labeled 1, 3, 7, 2, 6, 5, 4, 8 around its circumference, with a curved arrow near the number 1 terminal indicating the direction of rotor rotation. Reading the cap terminals in the direction of rotation gives the firing sequence for routing the spark plug wires from the distributor cap to the correct cylinders. The image carries a watermark from www.mre-books.com. A reader can use this diagram to correctly identify each cylinder's number and to route ignition wires from the distributor cap terminals to the corresponding spark plugs. No year, engine displacement, part numbers, or text captions appear on the document itself.
