You can get the setup from http://www.autozone.com
if not, you have to get a manual on it, most every car is different.

Mr. Know... has it. Find TDC #1 compression stroke, remove the cap, and if it was installed properly and not 180 off, you should have it. Mark the cap if it isn't marked. As far as eferrell's answer, I am not going to touch that. When you time a car,, you loosen the distributor and move it clockwise and/or counter clockwise to retard or advance the timing where it needs to be. Sometimes it ends up forward, sometimes a little off to the side, but never take an answer like that as golden.
If you looked at one of my cars you might think I put the plug wires in the wrong order because on one car I have the 4 and 7 switched. The reason for this is torque curve. Yet other engines might have reverse rotation cams. My point is, try not to take things at face value. Just because it is one way on one guys car, chances are the might be the same for yours, yet there are those acceptions......

Look on the cap. #1 is generally marked on the cap. If it isn't, #1 tower would be the one nearest to pointing straight forward.

I believe that it is located to the front of the engine and to the driver side.

Where ever the rotor is pointing TDC compression #1
ADDED:
I guess you should have done one at a time to avoid this delema.
Generaly, it's the one closest to the fire wall.
