You need to bring #1 up on compression and look where the rotor on the distributor is pointing, match that up with the nearest tower on the cap, then follow the fireing order in connecting the other wires.
You can never assume that how it is pictured or how someone elses is, will be how yours will be. Since each tower is equidistant from the next, it doesn't matter where the wires are as long as they are in the correct order and the fire at the correct cyl at the right time. This means it will work equally well in 6 different positions as long as the rotor is timed to the engine.
