Default Building a Magneto Harness

I am building the wiring harness for my Bendix mags and am trying to find out how to determine which wire goes to what cylinder. Is there a place on the mag that says, "hey connect the #2 here" or how do I have to go about figuring that out?

thanks,

Looking at the mag where the ignition harness would screw on, with the mag coil housing up, number one is at the 11:00 position. The mag rotation and thus the direction the wires will clock to the firing order is listed on the mag data plate.
Good Luck,
Mahlon
