I believe it is... The #1 cilinder is the one directly behind
the passenger seat, near the coil cover.
I allmost fell for that one too when I did mine and the picture in
the manual shows the engine in its "normal" position: frontengined...
If you take good notice of the flywheel and pulleys you should be allright.

Are you sure the cap is the right one and positioned right?
If yopu didn't get the cap from a DeLorean vendor it might be a cap
for another type of the PRV-6. Like odd-firing vs. even-firing...

Hope this helps,
