Before disconnecting the spark plug wires, be sure to trace their orientation from the individual cylinders back to the distributor cap.
The cylinders are ordered from left to right when viewing the engine from the front of the car, with cylinder #1 being closest to the passenger side of the vehicle.
Mark the order of the spark plug wires on the new distributor cap with a silver sharpie marker -- it will make reinstallation much easier.
