Go firing order, clockwise starting with # 1 (assuming Lincolns turn the same way as a Ford) uote] B-rad (4/13/2023)
Well, I ground the head down and now the distributor slid right in. I had the #1 piston at tdc and lined the rotor up with the number one on the cap. Gonna make sure the vac adv is facing the carb. What direction do I go when putting the wires on? [/quote]

Looking at the top of the distributor cap it's counterclockwise starting with #1 and follow the firing order. To my knowledge all Ford V8's are CCW.

Well that's one cw and one ccw. Tie breaker anyone?
Plus the intermediate shaft is a little bit too long, it's not a problem cutting a half inch off the bottom is it?

CCW is the direction for Y-Blocks, and since Lincoln and Y Block distributors interchange with a gear change, Lincoln also have to rotate CCW.
