Plug wire placement im retarded

i must be stupid or something but i just put a new cap rotor and plugs on my 429 this should be extremely simple i know but i haven't done it in a while can someone refresh my memory. the intake casting says 15426378 so i set that starting at the #1 on the cap and now it won't start what am i doing wrong? when i took them off the old cap i noticed it was different but didn't remember to remeber where the old ones go...

Make sure the engine is set at the top of #1 Compression stroke not the exhaust stroke.

I always make a mark where the rotor was facing just in case I have to remove the dizzy.

Looking at the Distributor from the front, #1 is usually at the 9-10 o'clock position.

Make sure you set the firing order in a Counter-clockwise direction.

#1 is Front right bank of cylinders as in Right side front to back 1-2-3-4

& then left side of block 5-6-7-8 front to back

Make sure you seperate wires 7-8 in the wire holder above the valve cover.
