Homer,
I'm going from very faulty memory here, (and my coach has HEI, hence no R terminal, so I can't look), but I believe the S terminal is nearest the engine block (right of batt cable by your description) and the R terminal is away from the block. Hopefully, someone else will confirm this though.

Having said that, I don't think it will hurt anything to have them backwards, it just won't crank.
