farmall f12 wont start...need help

Recently picked up a farmall f12 at an auction with a bad magneto according to the family having the sale. Took it off and had it rebuilt.. Problem is when we put it back on I may have gotten the wire mixed up because it just back fires and blows black smoke when I tried pull starting it...What is the order of the wires from top right of the magneto going clockwise in relation to the firing order on the side of the block..1342?Does the firing order the same as the piston number? so for example the spark plub wire on the magneto that has the 1 by it go the back cylinder closest to the seat? Had a guy stop over who knows a little bout them and kind of helped me get the magneto timed with the engine...we waited till the piston closest to the radiator was at TDC then made sure that the rotor that touched the spark plub wire was lined up...Did we do this right? Weve tried everything and not getting closer...thanks for the help
