Just pop the distributor cap and have someone crank the engine while you watch the rotor.

How I can determine which hole in the distributor is assigned to the #1 plug wire.
Pull the number one plug. Turn the engine over slowly (with a wrench) while holding your finger over the plug hole. When the air builds (a lot of) pressure you are coming up to the number one spot on the distributor. (the rotor will point to the location of the #1 hole in the distributor.)

Quick methods to disable the engine I have seen people do on the classics:
Close the points by loosening the set screw
Pull the rotor cap
Connect a wire from the coil to ground. (effectively closes the points. Can damage the coil if key is left on.)
Pull the main ignition wire
And there are some tricks at the starter solonoid involving the ballast resistor bypass that is used to provide a hotter spark while cranking. (Two little wires at the starter solonoid - one is crank the other is the ballast bypass.)

Might give those a look-see. Best of luck (rememeber rated this help).

2000 Mustang: which is the position for the wires for the sporck...

For the 2000 Ford Mustang:
Based on your question you should have the 3.8L V6 and not the 4.6L SOHC or DOHC V8; however I have included all below.

For the 3.8L V6:
Firing Order:
1-4-2-5-3-6
Cylinders:
......(back)......
|..3..|.......|..6..|
|..2..|.......|..5..|
|..1..|.......|..4..|
......(front)
Ignition Coil Connections:
....(back).....
|..1...2...3..|
|..5...6...4..|-this is correct (564).
....(front)

For the 4.6L SOHC and DOHC:
Firing Order:
1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8
Cylinders:
........(back).........
|...4...|......|...8...|
|...3...|......|...7...|
|...2...|......|...6...|
|...1...|......|...5...|
