Default FI dist cap question

Easy question….

63 Corvette with FI. Any pics out there of the proper dist cap tower for #1 plug. Mine is on the drivers side of the dist cap window….I think #1 should be on the pass side of the window. Is that correct?

Understood, but which tower is #1 plug wire.
Pretty sure now that mine should be on pass side of dist window to be correct. Agree??

I think if I do that I will be able to clock the distributor to get to the points to adjust the points with dwell meter. Right now that’s impossible.
