Where do spark plug wires go on distributor cap.

Dumb question.

I have to replace my distributor but now I don't know which way the wires went onto the cap.
can anyone show a picture of how they go on a D16z6 motor?

Thanks.

number 1(longest wire/far right)-back side(closer to the intake manifold)
number 2(2nd longest)-bottom of the distributor if its installed
number 3(second shortest-the top wire
number 4(shortest wire)-the wire closest to the rad support.

look up "civic firing order" or "d16z6 firing order" on the search feature.

Next time, dont take the wires off the cap all together. Replace them onto the new cap one by one.

but you probably already realized that. I just feel like being annoying and obvious.
