Yep Doward correct.
#1 is front passenger side.
Go to cap, it's 7:00 position.
Skip a spot, next is #3, skip a spot, next is #5.
Then back to front of distb cap, starting with, as also said, next, #2 and so on.
IF ya really feel not sure on distb cap, remove the #1 plug, bring that piston to TDC, look at rotor position.

plug order on distributor cap itself??

The wires are on the plugs themselves, but taken off of the distributor cap. I think the order is 1-2-3-4-5-6-counterclockwise, but which one is #1?

REREAD MY REPLY!
I said it's the 7:00 position on the cap.
To double check again pull #1 plug, bring engine to TDC & see positon of rotor. It'll be at 7:00 position. Drop on cap & there ya go.
Clockwise is rotation of rotor.
