SOURCE: 1990 chevy 350 distributor wiring diagram and firing order

The firing order is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2.
The distributor rotates in a clockwise direction. The engine must be on the compression stroke on the #1 cylinder. Line up the timing marks. Remove the cap and the rotor should be pointing to approximately the 5 o'clock position.

Good Luck

SOURCE: in what order do yu arrange the plug wires on the distributor cap or a 1990 gmc 350

1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 Distributor turns clockwise Number one should be in the 5 oclock position. You should be able to draw an imaginary straight line between the coil tower and number one tower on the cap and the number one spark plug.

SOURCE: my buddy mixed up which wire goes were on

If you can get at least number ONE right, the others will follow. 1 8 4 3 6 5 7 2 . get the tiimng mark on TDC, take the cap off, see where its pointing, should be towards the front, if its at the back, turn the engine 1 revolution and line up the mark again. now the rootr will be pointing at number ONE on the cap. IF you have not taken the dist out or moved it. number 1 3 5 7 are on the drivers side.

Diagram for 1993 chev 350 thruttle body for spark plugs

Firing order is clock wise rotation. You can see firing order in picture. You can see how cylinders are numbered. I did show number one terminal on distributor cap, according to my database. I don't like to do that because I've seen many pictures that were wrong. If you put number one piston on tdc of compression stroke, which ever spark plug tower the rotor is leading into is number one, then follow firing order around cap in direction of rotation. Just my opinion.
I looked at 93 chevy pickup, 350 engine.

Change plugs and wire and engine will not acclerate. This is a built 350 short block chevy with pro charger.

350 Chevy engine in what? 1990 Corvette? Who built it, did you?

Sounds as though you have plug wires wrong.
Firing order is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2

Distributor Ignition System:
Distributor rotates Clockwise. (Rotor)
Find Number 1 tower on distributor cap, go Clockwise with Firing Order.

Distributorless Ignition System:
VIEWING the engine from the Front of the car.

Spark plug wire connections along the back, starting from Left side going to Right side;
2-3-7-4

Spark plug wire connection towards the Front of the engine;
6-1-5-8

(To guess I would say you have 5 and 7 wires switched)

Left side cylinder order is 1-3-5-7, going from front to back.
Drivers side is Left side.
Right side cylinder order is 2-4-6-8, going from front to back.
