Reaction Question

Hi. I have this problem here. It involves 1,3 butadiene reacting with an
equal amount of HCl. What is the major product coming out of it?
I worked it out and I'm thinking the double bond will abstract the proton,
and so the proton ends up on the outer edge (carbon 1 or 4) and then there
is a carbocation. So chlorine could attack there, so you have
3-chloro-1-butene (I'm not sure if I named it correctly). Otherwise the
intermediate could resonate and the positive charge ends up on the end, so
you get 1-chloro-2-butene. So between those two, which is the major product?
I initially thought 3-chloro-1-butene, but because I think I've named it
incorrectly, that's why it's the wrong answer choice.
Thank you.
