Firing order and wires

1991 3B avant mostly stock with 220k.

Can anyone just verify that I have the ignition system configuration 
correct for putting wires back on:

Firing order 12453 with front cylinder is number one.
Number on on the cap is over the notch in the rim of the distributor 
body and the firing order clocks clockwise from number 1.

I have gotten this wrong before. Doing new wires, rotor, cap, knock 
sensors, cleaning a lot of stuff. Took that bracket with all the sensor 
connectors off of the firewall, derusted and painted it and made sure 
everything slips on nice. It was hard to get all that stuff apart 
especially with the space behind the head and even with the intake off. 
I want to route wires before putting the intake back on. My wire set was 
in pretty bad shape but it might have been original. Nothing was shiny 
anymore. Both knocks sensors were pretty disintegrated and crumbling so 
had to be done. All rubber hoses and breathers seem OK for now. Hadn't 
been under the intake in a long time so happy to get it all in good order.
