Thanks Mark.    I have these correct.  I found a diagram on Ken's site that enabled me to check the firing order and spark plug wire placements and this shows that the right side wires are crossed and No 1 is forward right.      Thanks again:-)    Steve

For the right side, with the cap off and the rotor pointing at the tiny little notch on the rim of the distributor the wire it would be pointing at needs to go to the spark plug on the forward right, closest to the front of the vehicle.
