Unfortunately you are thinking Chevy the way I grew up! On a Chevy the driver side is 1 3 5 7 from the front to back and the passenger side is 2468 from front to back but on a Ford the the passenger side is 1234 front-to-back and the driver side 5678 front to back.Hold the phone-I may have had a cylinder mixup in my head! So looking at the motor, is #1 on the left at the front towards the fan? Please say yes. I was thinking that one was #4 but now I’m almost certain it’s 1. If so, it is at the top and my timing marks seem to be where they belong.
I might get those old chains off yet[emoji51]

Not that this will matter to your repair before it also has a different firing order than the most common GM and Dodge 18436572. Then to top it off for Ford 302 they had two different firing orders one for an ho and one for the standard.
Your number one cylinder is on the passenger side all the way up by the radiator.
