1,3,4,2 is correct.

number 1 (nearest the radiator) should be pointing the dizzy so that the rotor arm is pointing at the little nick in the dizzy.

As said rotor arm needs to have the scribe mark dead central, the mark is on the outer lip part of the dizzy.
Firing order is as said and the dizzy cap if angled type is numbered from engine towards n/s inner wing as 4/2/king lead from coil/1/3.
