If that is the firing order you got off the valve cover, then that is correct. I don't know the firing order from memory. The dist turns CLOCKWISE. You can pull the cap and ground the high tension lead from the coil to protect the ignition module and have someone crank the car. You will see the dist rotate CW and you will see a little line on the edge of the housing that looks like it was made with a chisel. That should be #1 if it hasn't been screwed with. TIP: I made a spewcial tool that I did not give an MB part # to. I fashioned a coat hangar to hook into the dist cap and into the metal stiffener at the firewall end of the hood. That keeps the SOB out of the way while you are working on the dist.
