I'm not sure about a picture, but any sequence in clockwise rotation of wires (around the cap) that equates to 1-5-3-6-2-4 will get you what you want. #1 can be anywhere you heart desires, unless you are a purist. Cylinder # 1 is right up front next to the fan.

Pull the #1 spark plug, put your thumb over the hole, and have someone tap the starter until you feel compression. The cap tower the rotor points toward when compression pops your thumb out of the hole needs to be #1. Follow in a clockwise direction looking at the top of the cap with 5-3-6-2-4. Don't forget to reinstall #1 plug!
