Firing order out of sequence?

Firing order out of sequence?
The top image is how my plug wires are currently installed. The second image is another diagram of the wire placement on a 360ci engine. I went through my normal starting procedure (crank 3 seconds, let off, crank another three seconds), and heard a *cough* (not bad, but noticeable) when I let off the first time. Engine fired up, and ran normally. Am I being **** about this, or should I move each wire one spot clockwise as in the second pic? As I'd said before, I'd changed each wire one at a time from old cap to new, and pretty certain the top pic is how they were. (If it matters, my van had been sitting for a couple of days after the tune-up, from my other post.)

You need to locate the tuiming notches on the crank shaft pulley. When no. 1 cylinder is at TDC, the notch will align with a mark on the front of the crank case. And the wires on my 1994 Ram's distributor match the arrangement in the lower diagram. Therefore your wires might need to be shifted clockwise one unit. Lemme' know if this works for you. 8)
