Which engine? 22R runs 1-3-4-2

make sure the engine is at TDC on the compression stroke.

Hello dude. Pull the valve cover off to verify both valves are closed. Then you can also see the timing marks on the cam pulley along with the crank pulley down low.

A screwdriver in the spark plug hole will tell you if the piston is at TDC, but doesn't indicate whether its on compression stroke or exhaust stroke. Just my thoughts on how I would do it.

Its odd that the cap is not number.
On the V6 dist cap, wire #1 is where the plug for the dist goes, it turns CCW.
The firing order for the v6 is easy, 1-6, passengerside plugs are 1,3,5 and drivers 2,4,6.
On a dist cap that has the angled plug sockets the order is 1,5,3,4,2,6.

Off brand caps most times aren't numbers. And sometimes don't fit over the distributor properly, and even can have the terminals a few degrees off, which can affect timing.
