It doesn't matter. In a 240V circuit, L1 and L2 are interchangeable.

and the neutral bare ware is completely bare with no insulation on it
any where in the length.

That's not the neutral -- it's the ground.

so I think going to use the current 4way hook up as the new way to
hook up. there was no oxidation on any of the aluminum/copper mix with
the alumium crimper ring. so thats good for being 27 years old.

will add the anti-oxidation stuff if I can find it.

FIND IT. That's NOT optional for aluminum connections. Any hardware store or
home center should have it, in the electrical department. One common brand
name is Ox-Gard. A small tube should be all you need, and costs just a couple
of bucks.
