I'm having trouble searching for this, as i come up with hundreds of results. I'm trying to replace the coil for plug #8 and can not find anything identifing what cylinder # is what. Can somebody identify the cylinders for me?

 

As you stand in front of the truck, looking at the engine - passenger side - #1 is closest to you and then to #5 towards the rear of the engine.
Driver's side is #6 thru #10.

 

Third hole back from the front on the drivers side as you face the motor

Orn beat me again... cool!

 

thanks guys, and i assume its the same regardless of year? this is 1997

 

It's the same regardless of engine back to oh, at least the 60's for Ford engines.

#1 is always front passenger-side (in US terms, that is), and numbered sequentially to the rear, then start again at the front on the driver's side.

So, front left plug is #6 for a V10, #5 for a V8 and #4 for a V6.

 

Bold is mine: That is the correct way to say it...while sitting in the seat. Some folks don't know that, so just thought I'd throw that in, in case there's confusion.

 

Darn it, I can't get it right these last few weeks... I'm falling apart ... whee!!!!

I shoulda said "Driver's side" ...

Is there some common nomenclature to describe things based on driver's or passenger's side but includes the country?

For instance: "Driver's side-US" or "Passenger side-AU", etc ???

 

Really gets confusing when you are underneath also.... can't tell from the creeper what is my left front or right rear...dang 4X4.... gets even worse when you grab to move forward or back when the smell is your fingers leaving prints behind on the exhaust pipe... .... so by the time you are back top side and decide that a plug needs checked.. hard to remember that drivers side is left some days and right on others.. while you look for something to soothe your fried fingers and try desperately to keep your grubby good hand from smearing the rust, grease, and mud into your eye that was just bombed by the crap falling off the top of your forehead...by now I rarely care much about orientation...I need a damned cold beer.

 

What!!!!???? Fred, you need to watch what you say...some folks might take it wrong...

Speaking of taking things wrong...
Art, that's just another in a long list of things said in one part of the country - or profession, for that matter - that are taken wrong.
Down here we say supper, folks up there say dinner and such as that.

Some say motor, some say engine.

Some say diff, some say punkin

I knew what you meant even though I'm a redneck. Guess it's all the time I spend with you Yanks...

 

Well Big Orn you are old enough to remember the Truck Nutz Warz so you know that here on FTE my "orientation" has been called into question a few times... but no matter I still know that there is no diff in my punkin

 

Yea...I remember. Got a few folks all up in arms. Even had Yeti checkin in ever now and then. I miss his ugly mug....

Speaking of heated junctures... it's supposed get 34 deg F here tonight. What the...? It was so hot last week I saw Satan buying a Slurpee - (Larry the Cable Guy)

 

34 degs orn try 25 right now here. was down to 15 yesterday morn. this is spring.
ooh man dog just farted hes laying by the couch.

 

Thanks for sharing, cap....

I'm kinda in that part of the country that there's only 2 seasons anyway: Christmas and summer. So I guess I ought'n to be surprised...'cept I don't allow no dogs to poot by the couch and such. Why don't you make him go outside with such as that? I'm a rancher/farmer (depending on what part of the country you come from...and for what taxes are cheaper... ) and I won't allow no cow or horse to come in here to lift their tails. No sir, won't be none of that.

Reminds of a joke:
A man owned a small ranch in Texas. The Texas Wage & Hour Dept. claimed he was not paying proper wages to his help and sent an agent out to interview him.
"I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them," demanded the agent.
"Well," replied the rancher, "There's my ranch hand who's been with me for 3 years. I pay him $600 a week plus free room and board. The cook has been here for 18 months, and I pay her $500 per week plus free room and board.
Then there's the half-wit who works here about 18 hours every day and does about 90% of all the work around here. He makes $10 per week, and I buy him a bottle of bourbon every Saturday night."
"That's the guy I want to talk to - the half-wit," says the agent.
"That would be me," replied the rancher.

'Course I ain't really claiming to be a half-wit...just telling a joke is all...
