Firing order is 1342 starting at the front (radiator) the normal location for #1 plug wire in the distributor is at 1:30 (O'clock) looking from the back. The rotor turns Clockwise so the #3 wire is at about 3:30, the #4 wire is at 7:30 and #2 is at 10:30. Timing is set at TDC (second notch on the pulley when turning in the normal direction). Point gap is .020 Inches. Put #1 at TDC compression and look at the rotor position. It should be pointing to #1 plug wire tower in the cap. Finding compression can be done by turning the fan with the plugs out (or hand crank if you have one) and feeling at the same time for pressure coming out the #1 plug hole with your thumb.

Keep us informed or ask questions. Jim
