Default "Proper" orientation for #1 plug wire?
Hi guys,

Please bear with me for just a few more stupid questions. This IS my first Ford, remember.

I'm used to Chevrolets and having the #1 plug wire on the distributor oriented to the front of the engine. On my 289, the #1 wire is roughly aimed at the #5 cylinder. Is this "correct?" I ask because I'm replacing plug wires and re-curving the advance anyway. I figure that if I'm going to have it all apart I might as well take a minute and point the distributor in the proper direction.

Thanks, Tom
