2nd on in on drivers side
1-5 passenger
6-10 driver
10 cyl. so I assume the V8s are similar

The engine cylinders are numbered : firewall 4 - 8 3 - 7 2 - 6 1 - 5 front of Ford Excursion I'm not a mechanic / technician but I assume it would be : firewall D - H C - G B - F A - E front of Ford Excursion
The point of gap on a Chevrolet 4.3 liter 6 cylinder is J7. This is also known as spark plugs.
Number 1 cylinder, which would be the first cylinder on the drivers side of the engine. You want the rotor pointing towards the 5 O'Clock position looking at the distributor from the front.
It's an engine size, it means one cylinder can hold 4.4 liters of air at the lowest point of the stroke.
number one wire will point to the number one cylinder
WHEN INSTALING THE DISTRIBUTOR THE ROTARY BUTTON HAS TO BE POINTING AT THE NUMBER 1 CYLINDER AT TDC
According to www . motorcraft . com ( no spaces ) unless the engine compartment decal shows different The point gap is .027 inch The point dwell is 35 to 40 and The ignition timing is 6 degrees BTDC for 200 cubic inch ( 3.3 liter ) straight 6 cylinder engine
Typically.. if nobody has messed with it, it will be located between the 4 and 5 o'clock position, if you are standing at the front grille, looking at the motor.
Check for a broken timing belt.
When the point are in no 1 position and just closing no 1 piston is up.
Yes
there is no hard fast rule here. but typically with the cap off and number one cylinder at TDC on compression stroke. the rotor will point at number one cylinder on the engine.
