Default Need help with Spark Plug Wires

I pulled all of my old wires off and don't have a clue which ones go where. Is there a diagram somewhere that will tell me how to route them. I did mark off which ones went to the Driver side and which ones went to the passenger side, which should help.

Firing order for a 350 is 1 8 4 3 6 5 7 2. 1 is on the front drivers side of the motor, 2 is on the front passenger side, 3 is on the drivers side next to 1, and so on.

The distributor spins clockwise. Do you know where #1 was connected to the cap?

How does that equate to the cap? I am really new at this even though I'm not a teenager, be gentle. Do I go clockwise or counter clockwise on the cap or what?????? I must be an idiot, cause the only one I'm sure about is the on in the middle that goes to the coil :D :D :D :D :D :D

Bring your timing mark on harmonic balancer up to zero. Then remove dist.
cap and see where rotor is pointing. If its pointing towards the front that should be #1, towards the firewall should be #6. Then follow firing order clockwise from either one of these points. Either 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 or 6-5-7-2-1-8-4-3.Hope this helps you,

Ooooohhhh you guys are good. Thanks for the e-mail steve. That will do the trick as once I saw the diagram I was able to confirm some of the ones I remembered. I have new Red plug wires, racing looms, Chrome valve covers and as of tomorrow Hooker headers. My cars going to look awsome. Good Night all :jester
