Default firing order

hi guys! my 90 302's firing order is 15426378?

the distributer goes counter clockwise?

the cylinders are 1234 on the passenger's side and 5678 on the drivers?

(starting from the grill back)

is all this correct?

Yep,make sure #1 is in the right spot and u should be good to go. There is a preferred layout on the wires on cross over on 7,8 and one more wire but I don`t remember it.

I have spark, I have fuel. I reset the computer. I can't figure out what's wrong. Thanks for the help!
