Distributor firing order and cylinder layout - 51 flathead

Im trying to rewire my HT leads from my distributor cap, but i have no idea o the order. Im going to google it while im waiting for replies but does anyone have a diagram i can follow?

Many thanks.

Its a 51 V8 flathead with the distributor on the side of the engine, not the front.

The firing order is 1-5-4-8-6-3-7-2. The cylinders are 1-2-3-4 front to back on the passenger's side and 5-6-7-8 front to back on the driver's side.

Driver and passenger side assume a left hand drive vehicle.
