On Ford motors the cylinders are numbered front to back
on V6 & V8 motors, the cylinder that is closest to the front of the engine is 1
That back is 123 0r 1234 The other bank is 456 or 5678
The dist is clockwise.
For the 1984 Ford F150: I do not know if you have the 4.9L In-Line (Straight) 6-Cylinder, the 5.0L V8, or the 5.8L V8; however I have included all below.
For the 4.9L In-Line 6-Cylinder: Firing Order 1-5-3-6-2-4 Cylinders: (back)
...6
...5
...4
...3
...2
...1 (front) Distributor:
...........4
.....2 [].............1
..6.............[]-clip
.............5
.....3 Rotation: Clockwise
Auto Zone has the manual for this on line. Note that if you have a V8, the distributor shaft may rotate either clockwise or counter clockwise, depending on whether Chevy or Olds made the engine. So, with the cap off, turn your engine over to see which way the shaft rotates.
