Hi I have a 1991 Accord and need to know the order from which the wires connect from the distributore to the spark plugs. I have the wires set up at the current moment where if you were to look at the distributor cap from the passenger side, the wires are
2
4-1
3
I have a service manual for the car but it does not explain the wire order very well.

Also, I have noticed a leak coming from the foam seal that is on the front of the radiator. The foam seal is the one that would rest against the front of the car from inside the engine compartment. Do you think I will need to get a whole new radiator or is there some way to seal this leak?

The wiring order, as related to the cap, always goes from a marking or feature on the cap, (i.e. #1 will be marked with a "1", or there will be a hold-down screw in line with the #1 tower, etc.)

Your manual should give you the location of the #1 tower and the direction of rotation.

Which ever way the distributor turns, the wires have to run in firing order in that direction from #1.

so if your rotation is counterclockwise, and your firing order is 1-2-4-3, you're wired right.

I've tried to edit this several times, it won't display properly

Looking at the motor from in front of the car, cylinders are numbered :

4-3-2-1

Firing order is 1-3-4-2, clockwise rotation, so assuming you started on the #1 tower, you're fine.
