With the exhuast stinking of fuel, I would be double checking the cam timing first.
To determine what lead goes where is a doddle, take the cap off and put engine at tdc, not where rotor arm is, this will be pointing to number 1 cylinder, now operate the stater and see which way the dizzy turns, if say counter clockwise, then in the cap the corresponding leads would be cyl 1 at tdc, next one would be cyl 3 then cyl 4 then cyl 2, 99% of 4 cylinder engines fire 1342, a notable exception to this is the valencia engine as found in FWD fords which is 1243.
