The order is
1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2

My service manual has a diagram that shows the original wire locations.

However, if the distributor has been removed etc. the wire positions can be changed although they will remain in the same firing order.

Good luck.

- the correct firing order is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 on the L98, as well as most SBC's, however, on the L98, a properly installed, and indexed, distributor will look like this - no ifs, ands, or buts about it --
