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)

I was surprised to find Dodge still using a distributor on this engine. The firing order is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 and the cylinders on the driver side are 1-3-5-7.
From the 2001 Dodge Dakota maintenance manual. Note the numbering of the 6 cylinders and the arrow indicating front of engine. Firing order: 1-6-5-4-3-2, with distributor rotating clockwise.
For all Dodge 4 cylinder engines, the firing order is 1-3-4-2 All dodge distributors rotate clockwise.
Standing on passenger side number 1 is at bottom left or 7:00 o clock.
going clockwise number 3 plug wire is next then number 4 then last one is number 2 wire.
plug wire number 1 is 7:00 o clock
plug wire number 3 is 11:00 o clock
plug wire 4 is 1:00 o clock
Plug wire number 2 is 5:00 o clock
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
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.
