Hi,

From the rear of the engine looking down. Rotor rotation, clockwise.
Firing order 1. 4. 3. 2.
If the distributor is set as the book, the dist. cap wires should be,
Cylinder #1 top left.
             #2 bottom left
             #3 Bottom right.
             #4 top right.
The only cross of wires is #3 and #4.

If the engine is running well I'm sure you will find the above.
