Hello from the newcomer . 
 
Just finished putting new distributor cap,rotor and made new 8.5mm msd  
wires. 
 
The firing order from what i have been told and i see in my manual is .  
1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8.
 
On the distributor cap I know clearly where numer one plug should go. If  you 
are looking at the engine from the back of the car the left (driver side )  
side of the engine is 1-2-3-4 and then 5-6-7-8...correct?
 
If you are looking at the distributor cap .Please tell me this is  correct 
.The one faces the back of the car .   
           2       6
7                        5
            coil     
3                         4
         1        8
 
I have also been told that the firing order could be 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8
