Default HELP QUICK, Plug order/Distributor Question

Anyone know what order the plug wires go in on the distributor. I thought I had this written down correctly, but when I put my car back together its not running right.

Starting from the top left corner on the distributor and moving counter-clockwise I've got 1-3-4-2, just like on the cam cover. Is this right???

And looking at the cam cover from the passenger side (so that "PORSCHE" can be read" the cylinders are numbered from left to right, correct?

You start from the bottom right, but you have the order right. Start bottom right, go clockwise around the camshaft 1-3-4-2 with 2 at the top right.

I numbered my cylinders backward, thanks for the help.

For furture reference and searches:

The number one cylinder is at the front of the vehicle, number four at the rear. The order is indeed 1-3-4-2 as seen on the cam cover starting at the bottom right of the distributor and moving clockwise.
