1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2
The distributor rotates clockwise, and #1 should be marked on the cap.
what Tom said.... also, it's usually stamped on the intake manifold..
Best to look at a book or on the web for the plug order... saves a LOT of time..
I was helping my neighbor troubleshoot his kid's 78 Olds after he replaced the timing gears.. wouldn't fire but cranked good, etc...
I asked him if he used the book (that I'd loaned him) for the plug wires and he said "nope, didn't need it.. I used the firing order".. He had it all screwed up.. should have SEEN that some plug wires were long and some way to short for the way he had them..lol (he did have #1 in the right place, since I'd marked it before he took it apart.. )
