# 1 on the distributor cap faces to the rear and slightly towards the drivers side on your 351 Ford
The Ford 5.8 / 351 cubic inch V8 distributor turns COUNTERCLOCKWISE ( if looking from the top )
Remove the hold down bolt and pull it out. I suggest you mark it's position and the position of the rotor so you can put it back the same way.

Mine is on the right side of the distributor under all the wiring.
to my knowledge a windsor 351 is a ford engine. so how would you evem match a gm distributer cap
I'm putting a distributor in my 79 ford 351 modified 400 351 crank but 400 big block .. i know it is off of time and the timing chain is still good .. but how do i time the 1st cylinder with the distributor . how do i get it firing in order ? The firing order of the 351 Cleveland, 351 Windsor, and 400 are all the same at 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8 Rotor turns counterclockwise. Get the #1 piston, which is the piston on the front of the engine passenger side, at top dead center, (TDC) on the compression stroke. Turn the rotor on the distributor to the #1 spark plug on the distributor cap and insert the distributor into the engine. Time the engine with a timing light.
We need to know the year, make and engine size yo 1992 ford Windsor 351
Rotate engine to TDC Intake Stroke Remove Distributor cap Remove vacuum line to vacuum advance if equipped Remove horsehoe type clamp on side of distributor Lift out distributor
Assuming you have set the engine to #1 TDC and marked the position of the distributor and the position of the rotor, remove the distributor hold-down clamp and it's bolt, then pull the distributor up and out.
