Lisa..... ....iff'n yer 8N (only 8N's have 4-speed trannys) is really a '51, then you should have the sidemount 5-nipple crownhead sparkie cap and roundcan sparkie coil. Usually #1 is molded into the plastic by one of the nipples (usually about 10 o'clock, but could be ennywharr). Firing order is 1,2,4,3 CCW. sparkie #1 is front of the engine by the radiator.

Iff'n your distributor is the frontmount 4-nipple crabcap with squarecan sparkie coil ontop the distributor, then the firing order is still 1,2,4,3 CCW. That means:
sparkie #1 is connected to nipple #1 at 10 o'clock
sparkie #2 is connected to nipple #2 at 8 o'clock
Simple, eh? NOW PAY ATTENTION 'cuz it gitts tricky
sparkie #4 is connected to nipple #3 at 4 o'clock
sparkie #3 is connected to nipple #4 at 2 o'clock
therefore firing order is 1,2,4,3 CCW, isn't that amazing?

The frontmount N-Engine was used from 1939 to mid-1950 but is interchangeable with the latter 1950-52 sidemount N-Engine..... .....HTH, Dell yer self-appointed sparkie-meister

Getting a manual is good advice, but this previous thread will answer your question!

OOOPS, if your tractor is really a 1951, it will have the distributor mounted off to the right front side of the engine (tractors after serial #263844). Firing order will be the same, but the arrangement of the wires in the distributor cap may vary, if someone has has the distributor out, and replaced it in a non-standard position.

Email me if you'd like a scan of the digram for the side-mount wiring emailed to you, or perhaps someone will post it.

The best thing to do is get the FO 4 book from the local Ford Dealer, about $22, then watch this site and the articles on the left side. Usually the guys here know what they are talking about. Just helped me do a tuneup, and usually I can only do 2 things to cars, fill em up, and tow em in. Good Luck...
