Rotor Position Vs. Plug Wire Position?

So...with my engine at full (crank and cam) TDC - the distributor rotor arm points to where the upper left spark plug contact would be. Shouldn't this correspond to the beginning of the firing sequence - in other words...cylinder #1?

Therefore, should not the spark plug wires, starting from the upper left and going clockwise on the rotor, be #1, #3, #4, #2? (just as it says on the engine block?)

The Lindsay page has the order (again, from the upper left rotor contact) as 4,2,1,3. Perhaps this is not correct for my '87NA? Or did the P.O. somehow put the rotor on 180 degrees off? But I don't think this would be possible.

Could someone enlighten me? Thanks!
