Default 1972 350 Distributor Wiring

is it possible for my engine to run if the plug wires are off - by this I mean #1 is where #8 goes - etc. I paid someone to replace the intake in 2014 and it has run ok - but I have time now so I decided to check to see if I could get it to run better. The idle is erratic and varies by about 150 RPM. I reset the timing from 0 to 10 Deg BTDC and noticed the wiring did not look correct. Also and recommendations on a good aftermarket replacement distributor - looking for reliability / hotter spark / better starting - it is going in my wagon and more power would be welcome but I do not want to add anything to the engine bay - new coil would be OK...

Here is the diagram I used...
