Diagram in post #4 here: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/7...ming-mess.html

1-4-2-5-3-6 clockwise
This is the factory setup, so would depend on the last person who worked on distributor and set base timing

The reference Ron sent you answers your question, you would be standing on the right side of that diagram looking to the left. The diagram shows the engine from a top view with the front being on the right. So your number one cylinder is the first one on the passenger side as you are standing in front of the truck looking at the engine. Hope this helps you out.
