Installing replacement engine, 2 unknown wires 700 1990

Hey,

I'm anxious to get this B230F back together and start it up. Today I was finishing connecting the wiring harness. But, I found 2 wires I don't know what to do with. (1) is from the A/C compressor and has a circular connector. (2) has the same type connector, is a ground wire to the block, and looks like it would reach the alternator just fine. My guesses are it is for the alternator, or A/C, or to connect to the intake on the underside where another wire is located (that happens to be labeled for the alternator.)





Also, the distributor is off by 90 degrees from what I've experienced on other cars, and on the old engine that came out. So basically I don't know how to hook up the spark plug wires.



From the faq:
"Firing Order and Reinstalling Plug Wires:

B230F/T or B234 Four Cylinder: Firing order 1-3-4-2.

* Rear distributor: Left-to-right terminals are 4-3-1-2"

Can someone please explain which plug will be number 1 in terms of my pic?

Thanks,
Nathan
