1-3-2-4 is what i understand from reading

 

where does 1 start on the dizzy? (looking at the distributor from the front of the car)

I believe 1 is the one closest to the intake.

 

 

like this

 

engine

1

3 4

2

front of car

#1 cylinder on the disty cap is the one that faces rearmost to the firewall. its will be closest to the clip or screw for the cap on the back side. the screw will be slightly to the right of the #1 connection

 

the rotor rotates counter clockwise, and #1 cylinder is ont he front passenger side of the motor

It's usually marked on the cap somehow. Often times just a funny bump or difference in molding of the plastic there. But MilesFox is dead on; its the upper right one by the firewall/brake master cylinder (looking directly at the cap in the car)
