The real key in this diagram are numbers one and six. Note how they
cross all other wires. From what I was taught about high energy wires,
you want to cross them at right angles. It doesn't really matter where
you start on the distributor as long as number one fires to number one
cylinder. The idea is to stay away from those fancy wire looms that put
everything in parallel and induce cross-firing due to the expanding and
collapsing magnetic fields. So as long as you are crossing wires, you
should be okay.
