Front mount 8N wire loom question

I have the newly refirbished wire loom installed on the top of my 48 8N engine and am getting ready to weave the wires through it. After looking at it for a while, I am not sure how the wires run in and out of it. There are 4 holes - one on the inside of the curved part, one just behind the #1 spark plug, one just in front of the #2 spark plug, and one just in front of the #3 spark plug. Now I assume the #4 spark plug wire just runs out the end as that plug is pretty far behind the end of the wire loom tube. I assume the #3 spark plug wire comes out the hole closest to that plug, and likewise for the #2 spark plug wire. Now - does the #1 spark plug wire come out of the loom on the hole BEHIND the #1 spark plug, or the hole in front of it at the inside of the bend? If it comes out the hole behind the plug like I would guess - what wire runs out/in the hole at the bend? Why didn't they design the holes to line up right next to the plugs (we may never know this)?

Also - where does the holder that holds the #1 and #2 spark plug wires to keep it out of the belt mount at? I cannot find a good pic of the mounting location.

TIA,

That cable going into the bellhousing is the shifter for the Sherman Underdrive.
