Hello all, In my haste while installing a new cap,rotor,and wires I looked down to see the old cap,rotor,and wires in a pile on the ground. And then it hit me, "you moron" what goes where? So I pull out the manual, and here is what it told me.

1) the cylinders count from front to back

2) the firing order is (1,3,4,2)

3) on the OHV engine the dist. rotates counter clockwise

But what it did not tell me was which distributor tower to start with. You guys tell me if I did this right. I lined the timing mark up with the 0 on the crankshaft (TDC), the rotor should now be pointing at my #1 plug wire correct? This is what I used as my starting point. TIA
