Steve the only dumb questions are ones you don't ask and then get tangled up in an accident or worse.

#1 is the cylinder closest to the radiator. Spend a couple of minutes and remove the valve cover. The exhaust valve is the very first one. After it closes and the intake opens and closes, then the piston will be traveling to the top on compression stroke. Pull the #1 spark plug and you can see the top of the piston as it approaches the spark plug hole via a small flashlight. Or you can stick a long screwdriver in there and the piston will push it up. Note when it quits pushing out. One of the those pulley marks should line up with the timing mark on the block.

Now on the distributor, remove the cap and note the position of the rotor. That positon is usually around the 1:00 position of the distributor had not been pulled before. The distributor cap post that lines up with that rotor will be wired to #1. Then the firing order clockwise on the distributor cap is 1-3-4-2.

You will get additional advice and tips.
