I'm not a mechanic / technician but I do know that the 400 and the 460 have
different firing orders :
The 400 firing order is ( 1 - 3 - 7 - 2 - 6 - 5 - 4 - 8 ) Counterclockwise rotor , and the
460 firing order is ( 1 - 5 - 4 - 2 - 6 - 3 - 7 - 8 ) counterclockwise distributor rotor
so if you look at the spark plug wires on the distributor cap and # 1 and then the
next spark plug wire is # 3 so they both go to the passenger side of the engine it
would NOT be the 460 cubic inch
( On both engines the # 1 position on the distributor cap faces to the REAR and slightly towards the drivers side )
( On both engines the cylinder / spark plug locations are numbered : )
