Why would you need to set TDC if you just pulled the Dist. Cap? The TDC mark is on the Harmonic Balancer, sounds like you should let a Pro help you out, Ford also places a 1 where 1 wire should be on the cap, No 1 wire is the front cylinder on the passenger side, with the crankshaft set at TDC the rotor will point to where No 1 wire should be.

If you haven't removed the wires yet don't. The best way to replace ignition wires is to remove ONE at a time and replace with a new one before moving on to the next. That way you won't get the firing order mixed up. Hope this helps
