Cool Speed Graphic Rookie Tech questions

As purchased, the Speed Graphic has the following arrangement: Lens - Fresnel - Ground Glass. While researching the possibility of buying a new ground glass I found at least one source that says my fresnel & ground glass should be reversed. I can measure from the film plane of a holder to the front standard and see if that matches the current ground glass position. However, my measurement equipment will be crude at best. Are the parts put together correctly for the Speed Graphic? Should I reverse the fresnel & ground glass?

Next: I also got the original flash unit with the camera. Long tube for batteries, row of household looking sockets around the top, red button, flash bulb holder & refelector. I have the double post to household sync. cord and I know where to buy a household to PC cord. Thanks to a RFF member. Short of duct taping my Sunpak 383 Super to the Graflex handle, is there anything I can do to attach a strobe to this monster? I sure miss the 3 accessory shoes on my long gone Koni-Omega!

Thanks!
