2 Simple Questions - Please Help me out...

Hey guys,

I have a question and a request. First the request: Could somebody post (or give a link) to a diagram of the plug that each spark-plug wire is supposed to go to from the distributor.

Now the question: I just installed a new MSD cap, rotor, and wires (lost the firing diagram, stupid me). Anywasy I hooked everything up but while putting the cap on I turned my distributor and messed up my timing. Since I don't have a scanner I tried to move it to its original position by memeory. Now when I start the engine I hear a ticking noise (soft and pretty quick). Is the timing advanced too much? What does the ticking mean? Is this hurting my engine?

Thanks for the help,
-Max

Maybe the firing order would help:
