Massey Ferguson 135 3 Cylinder Gasser: Plug Wire Order

I need assistance with the order of Spark Plug Wires to Distributor Cap?
.
1969 MF 135 3 Cylinder Gasser. I think it is a Perkins engine.
.
I have read the firing order as 1,2,3. I think number cylinder #1 is close to the radiator (am I right). I think #1 is the top left of the Distributor Cap. If this is true, then #2 is in the middle, and #3 is on the bottom right.
.
I am asking before I mess everything up.
.
In my previous post I told the story about a sort has melted the wiring harness and my Dad has Alzheimer's. After I got the MF 135 rewired (Except the non-Amp Meter wiring) and a Starter Solenoid I still had no fire. My father is (was a master shade tree farm mechanic). He knows what he is doing, but he cannot remember what he has done. He popped the Distributor Cap off and performed field testing and diagnosed that we should replace the Condenser.
.
I was plugging everything back together until I can order parts. I ask my Dad the order of the plug wires. You know the answer: I do not know. I love my Dad. He is in his late 80s. Very healthy, but fighting a disease that is frustrating to him and everyone around him. God bless that man; I am a good mechanic, but I will never have the skills that he has.
.
I am getting juice to the Distributor Cap, but no spark. The coil and connectors are very rusted. I have on order a new Coil, Distributor Cap, Condenser, Points, Wires, and Plugs. Due to the overheated wiring harness I decided to replace everything and be done with it. I know it is over kill, but when I go out to the farm and fire that baby up I want her to run the best she can.
.
Please confirm:
Points Gap = 0.021 inch
Plug Gap = 0.025 inch.
.
Thank you in advance for your assistance,
Smitty
 
Points (.021" gap)
Plugs (.025" gap)
Firing order (1 2 3)
Distributor shaft rotation (Clockwise)
Usually the #1 is towards the front (radiator), unless someone changed it.
 
Sorry to hear about your father's alzheimer's. Firing order is correct. You are right to double check. I worked on a Ford Jubilee and thought the firing order was wrong at 1-2-4-3 then found that Ford used that on this rather than the standard 1-3-4-2 like on my Toyota and Farmall Super C. Murphy strikes again.
