I think it is still 1-3-4-2 going clockwise around the dizzy cap (looking toward the top of the cap). #1 is usually around 10 o'clock, but this is all for SOHC.

It won't fire in the right order, so it won't work.

It'll try to start, but sounds like complete crap, and probably make some loud popping noises

Did you gap the plugs correctly? Check Timing? How old is the dizzy? Did you change the wires too? Lots of things can contribute to "laggy-ness"
