I am having trouble fiquiring out which wire goes to which plug. The wires are different lengths and the correct wire length has to go specifically with the correct plug. I have the firing order dia

The firing order is 1-2-3-4-5-6
Cyl #1 is front left when looking at engine front to back
left coil pack connects to cyls. 5-2
center coil pack connects to cyls. 3-6
right coil pack connects to cyls. 4-1
It doesn't matter which connector on the coil you use just that the cylinder is connected to the proper coil pack (the coil fires both plugs at the same time, twice per each full 4 stroke cycle)

Key turns,gas pump works, does not turn

Try this...

You need to check for spark at the number 1 spark plug if no spark then it could be a few things
1.crank shaft position sensor
2. distributor cap or plugs
3. pick up coil inside distributor
4. ignition coil
5.ignition module
6.Blowen fuse check both engine fuses and inside cab fuses
7. oil pressure switch
You can pull the coil wire going into the distributor cap and check for spark there if no spark there then your problem will be from the ignition coil back

2.5 cranks ,has no spark

Check the fuse and relay in the fuse panel for a blown fuse. Then unplug the power wire to coil and test for power to coil. If you are getting power to coil then it will be the coil causing the problem. Use an inline tester to connect between the coil tower and sparkplug wire to correctly see if the coil is putting out fire. Could be bad sparkplug wires or plugs. Hope this will help you.
