Steve;
        After you get the wires back on in the right order here's a tip:
Somehow mark the wires and cap so it never happens again. I have done it
in two ways. One with a fine point indelible marker like a Sharpie. Write
on the distributor and the corresponding wire end. The other end I put
one wire tie(zip style) on the number one wire near the spark plug. Two
on the number two and three on the number three. I don' put any on the
number four.
        This way under times of mild duress, even though I have worked on
flat fours for dozens of years, re-assembly is idiot proof(no offense).

Drive Safely & Good Luck
