Small Cap Swap; Wire Orientation Question

I am converting to a small cap dist, are the position of the plug wires on the cap the same? The cap I have has a mark between the two plug ins.....hard to explain but wondering if wire for cyl#1 sits differently on a small cap....not sure if that makes sense...

Small cap, HEI cap, there's no difference.
From your picture, your little finger is pointing to the conventional #1 location (give or take).
