Default Order fire

Hi guys,
a friend of mine have changed the old spark plug cable with a new cable in his Corvette C3 made 1972 but he did a confusion and now the engine won't start.
Can you help me with a correct fire order and cilinder numeration???

Thaks in advance all of you

Robert

Sometimes #1 plug wire position is shifted to the #2 location so the vacuum advance can will be more toward the right side of the car (for clearance). But, the order will remain the same; just a different starting position.
