my Motor's Auto Repair Manual says that odd numbered cylinders are on the pass side and even numbered cylinders are on the drivers side. #1 is furthest forward on pass side, next to the radiator. #4 is the 2nd cylinder back on drivers side.
firing order is 1 - 2 - 7 - 8 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 3. distro rotation is clockwise.
there should be clips fore and aft on the distributer with #6 and #3 straddling the forward clip.
that piston numbering is kind of weird. practically all the 'modern' GM stuff is odd numbers on the drivers side.
