I took  off my plug wires without marking where they go on the cap. Left 
side of  engine is 2, 4, 6 and the right side is1,3,5, am I correct? 


The top cover of the motor is embossed with both the locations of each  
cylinder and the firing order. You are right on your estimate of the cylinders.  
2,4,6 are numbering from the back of the car on the drivers side, 1,3,5 are the  
same on the passenger side. The firing order is 1,4,5,2,3,6 - As on the top  
cover. If you want to find the direction of the rotation of the rotor, which 
is  also the order that the wires should be loaded into the cap, pull the cap 
and  rotor off. On the top of the distributor, on top of the steel stub where  
the rotor sits, there is an arrow stamped into the ring, pointing in the  
direction of rotation. If you truly have found where #1 is at it's firing point,  
just install the other wires and off you go. PS - Mis-installed wires can  
prevent the rotation of the motor when trying to start. It can also remove  
eyebrows if you are standing over the motor, and actually beak internal engine  
parts. - Seth Emerson
