The order is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 in the clockwise direction looking down at the top of the distributor. But, the #1 plug wire can be made to work in ANY one of the available positions. Also, there are some camshafts that are made with a 1-8-7-3-6-5-4-2 order (supposed to run a bit smoother and make a smidgen more power).
To know where the #1 plug wire should be placed, find the compression stroke TDC for the left-front cylinder and see where the distributor rotor points. The #1 plug wire should be placed in that [respective] location on the distributor cap.

FYI- they're the same for ANY small block chevy. Like, you could have totally googled this:

I have never heard any evidence of power gain for a 350ci small block chevy.
