Drivers side is odd, passenger side is even. Firing order is 1,8,4,3,6,5,7,2. Distributor rotation is clockwise, as viewed leaning over the intake, with the throttle body digging into your chest....... Number 1 is marked, and is at approximately 7:00 O'clock position when you are contorted sufficiently to see it.

Good Luck.

It should also be in raised numbers on the top of the stock intake manifold.
