spark plub wiring for HEI on a 65 330
Okay, maybe a dumb question, but what is the correct wiring for an HEI ignition, from dist to plugs. where can I find a diagram of the wiring order. changed plub wires(car was running okay, wires were kinda short), screwed the pooch somewhere, car runs, pops, did not mess with distributor timing. my wiring now is(from coil/power/tach connections area, going clockwise) 6-1-2-7-5-4-3-8. i'm flamboozeled, . if I have the wiring right, will have to go back and check wires. Help!!!

plug wiring
Ok, tried running plug wires as you guys said, no start, no fire, reversed the wires, pop from carb. this is an HEI dist(ii was told that made a difference as to where wires were in relation to the tach/batt connections. Looking at the engine from the front. #8 wire is 1st contact behind the tach/bat connection followed by #3, #4, #5, #7,, #2, #1 and #6 is next to the tach/bat connection terminals. I must be dense, car starts but runs like crap.
at a loss here. thanks for help and understanding

ac,
Pull out the number 1 spark plug. (drivers side front) Hold your finger in the spark plug hole and have someone bump the starter until you feel air start coming out of the plug hole. Then continue turning the engine over until your timing mark on the harmonic damper is exactly at "0" Pull the distributor cap and see where the rotor is pointing. That should be the number one spark plug wire location. From there go counterclockwise 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2
