Default Help: Distributor Plug wires B16a

Hey guys I'm almost finished my b16 swap and I have the dumbest question.
How do I hook up the spark plug wires on the distributor? I think that the firing order is 1-3-4-2, and I think that cylinder 1 is the one furthest from the distributor, but I'm not sure.
There is a mark on the cap next to one of the plug wire connections, is that for cylinder #1. And do I go clock wise or counter clockwise in the firing order from there?

Thanks guys, any help is Much appreciated.

yeah cyl #1 is the one closest to the timing belt side of the engine, as for the distributor cap, if your standing on the right side of the car and looking straight at the distributor, 1 would be bottom left, 2 (bottom right), 3 (upper left), and 4 (upper right)

Yo seriously NOBODY told this guy the firing order is 1-2-3-4 with cylinder 1 next to the timing covers and cylinder number 4 next to the dizzy. 2-3 are in NUMERICAL order between cylinders 1-4.

So cylinder 2 is closer to the timing belt and cylinder 3 closer to the dizzy.

Google (Honda b16 firing order) under the images for tons of great pictures.

"VHD" (guy above me) gave accurate correct order of plugs going to the Dizzy. Original poster had the firing order on the valve cover wrong. (just to be clear)
