Default Plug wire pattern on 1966 427 TI distributor

THANK YOU ALL. PROBLEM SOLVED! Made a silly mistake when I replaced my distributor cap. Can someone tell me order for plug wires on cap with dwell slide up window? It is the TI electronic if that matters.
Thanks for help?

The firing order is 1 8 4 3 6 5 7 2 clockwise looking down on the distributor cap. Number one is at the 7 o'clock position.

I've posted this before...both SB and BB are the same for this era.

Totally, but for guys unfamiliar it's good to say that #2 is at roughly 6 o'clock which is closest to the carburetor and 12 o'clock post (#3 spark plug wire) is closest to the firewall, with a line from 12 to 6 o'clock running roughly parallel with the crankshaft and with the dwell sliding door(if you have it) facing towards the front of the engine vacuum can facing towards the passenger side front wheel. It goes without saying that you and many here know this, but I'm only leaving this here for people that do searches on dizzy alignment that might need more info. Also, the exact dizzy alignment is dependent on stabbing the dizzy gear correctly into cam gear, and with final rotation being a function of engine timing.
