Can’t figure out carburetor

So I had the firing order correct... at least it would have been if the distributor turned clockwise.
I was standing there just looking at the engine thinking “WHY?”. And then it hit me. I swapped the wires around and it fires up now. All of you were right when you said it sounds like the plug wires are mixed up.
When my distributor pickup went bad I basically replaced everything in the ignition system and evidently put the wires on backwards.
Sorry for wasting everyone’s time with something so simple.
I’ve learned more on this car than I have in my 2 years of college so far lol.

Thank’s everyone.
