Well I tried to change the plugs and wires myself. The first side ( even #'s ) I just pulled all the wires off at one time. So I really didn't get the order down. The odd side I did one at a time so it should be correct. I tried moving them all around but no luck. It is still running rough ( off balance/out of order ) I guess. Any ideas on how to get the right order back in place? The ignition thing is numbered but I do not know which plug goes to which number.
Thanks.

I have the 1500 model with the 4.3 Vortec V6. I recently did a tune up on the engine due to the mileage. I had my new brother-in-law help me out with the tune up. Well he pulled the wire off the plugs without marking the distributor cap and I am trying to find out how to set cylinder one so I can restart it. Please help! This truck is a business truck, and I am losing money just having it sit.
