Yours are moved over because someone dropped the distributor in one or two teeth off and then installed the wires to match. Doesn't hurt anything but doesn't mean that they are all wired that way.

Thank all you guys for the good advice, I put the #1 wire next to the coil connector and it fired up, I forgot to put that the car came with a mild cam and the shop i had brought it to when it was timed the first time informed me the last owner put the cap 180 degrees off but the shop timed it and fixed the cap but were in Colorado so the timing has to be adjusted for elevation. It runs now but im going to do more research on the lift of the cam and get it tuned properly. thanks again you guys are great.
