Hmm, my Haynes has it right...

I'm more of a visual person, so when remembering the plug wire connections, I remember that the left-side plug wires have to cross. The right-side ones do not.

The left-front distributor cap terminal gets connected to the left-rear spark plug. The left-rear cap terminal goes to the left-front plug.

On the right side, the front cap tower hooks up to the front plug, and the rear cap tower to the rear plug.
