Ok, so my car is running now, but which spark plug wire goes where

Well I think it is anyway, I changed the cap and rotor which had to be done anyway. I guess the moisture from last night pushed it over the edge (even though I was getting spark, havn't figured that one out yet) the wires are corroded also, I guess I have to throw another set it tommorrow.

New problem though how do I know which spark plug wire goes where on the cap. The damn wires kept poping off the new cap as I was changing them, I thought I kept the order but apparently not because the thing fired right up but sounded like hell. How do I know which cylinder goes where on the cap?

You've got fuel, and spark (weak, strong?,) that leaves timing, and compression.

they shouldnt pop out of the cap. Adjust the boot, and push them in further.
