It is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 with 1-3-5-7 on the drivers side front to back, 2-4-6-8 on the pass side

That could depend upon where someone installed the dist. at. The best way to find #1 is to bring up the #1 cylinder on the "compression stroke) to TDC and then see where the rotor is pointing.

 

[C130 Chief]

With #1 cylinder at TDC, the rotor should point towards the left front intake bolt (by the throttle return spring bracket). The vacuum advance can should point to the right, forward slightly. Lace your wires accordingly.

Or, to look at it another way, #1 wire should be close to the 5 o'clock position if you look straight down at the distributor.
