I recently gave my 88 honda civic a tune up, but I neglected to keep the wires on the old distributor to copy the order in which the wires are placed on the cap. I have the correct order from the engine, but... help! I don't want to screw that up. The wires are numbered 1-4 (no kidding). Does anyone have a clue?

When the cap is mounted on the distributor, it should be:

1 3

2 4

1 and 2 are along the curved portion of the distributor cap and 3 and 4 are along the opposite straight edge.
