What is the firing order for a 351C. My Chilton's manual picture and description does not match up with what is on the car. And where does the number one plug connect in relation to the cap clips?

Counter - clockwise rotation 1 - 3 - 7 - 2 - 6 - 5 - 4 - 8
number 1 plug is the front cylinder on the passenger side, turn the engine to 0 on the balancer,pull the number one plug to verify the piston is up on the compression stroke, pull the distributor cap to see which terminal the rotor button is facing, this will be the starting point for number one wire
4 8 3 7 2 6 1 5front of engine

does this apply to the windsor tooo ..
Chilton's says "8 cylinder engines, the 351 is different" My understanding is the only interchangeable parts between a Cleveland and a Windsor are the spark plugs. These two engines are radically different.
this works for 351w,351c,5.0 H.O. and probably a few more
