I understand the firing order but when I got the boat the plug wires were off the distributor and I need to know what order they go onto the cap it has all four in a line on one side not all the way around. Any help would be appreciated or even a picture or diagram.
 
Hi ... Hope this helps.
The following is illustrative and not technical i.e. firing order.
Taking a photograph is not practical as the exhaust manifold is in the way.
If you look at the front of the engine (pulleys and heat exchanger) and number the spark plugs:-
Front = 1
2
3
Rear = 4.

The distributor is at the rear with the spark plug wires connectors on the left.
Top = 1
2
3
Bottom = 4.
Assuming you have the correct spark plug leads i.e. made to length!
Distributor top connector 1 goes to spark plug 2.
Distributor connector 2 goes to spark plug 1.
Distributor connector 3 goes to spark plug 3.
Distributor bottom connector 4 goes to spark plug 4.
 
I agree..... the spark plug cable posts should be labeled.

The #1 cylinder will always be the furthest cylinder forward.
