That would depend on what you did to it ...if the distributor has been out you need to get the timing up on TDC on #1 cylinder and drop the distributor back into phaze with the cam , if the distributor was not taken out you can put it up on #1 cyl and start where the rotor is when #1 is at TDC then go counter clockwise around the cap ... ususally the #1 plug goes towards the front of the cap but untill the cam and distributor are in time you could put the plugs on and never get it correct...
I would suggest getting at the very least a Haynes manual and looking at it for a reference ...
