take the cap off, rotate engine to TDC on cylinder 1 (so its at the top) wherever the rotor arm is, take that as number 1 plug. look at the dizzy cap and working anti-clockwise, the firing order is 1-3-4-2 iirc, so say top right is 1, top left would be 3, bottom left 4 and bottom right 2.

i've probably confused you to buggery now, and probably got something wrong (been a while since worked on a nova engine!)

if you look at the dizzy cap the leads go 3 1
then: 4 2
Bit of a shady diagram but it should help!
