Default Question about Plug wire order on the distributor

Hi, I am working on finishing up replacing a blown head gasket but when I got the jeep the plug wires were undone. Could someone please tell me the correct order? I have an idea but I really want to check. It would be very much appreciated.

Thank you,
Taylor

Dang it, Flintstone. You posted up your picture before I could after stealing it from you. Remember the guy who wanted to know what the yellow terminal was for?
