the cap should be marked on a vortec 4.3 liter. the left side of engine is from front #1 #3 and #5 cylinders. the right side from front is #2 #4 and #6.
need to know if its a HEI cap and rotor or not. HEI caps have the coil built into them , an all in one ignition as compared to a external cylindrical coil.
you need to know that. either the distributor cap is a huge hurken thing (HEI) or it has an external coil somewhere or the cap has a ninth distributor hole in the middle of the cap to put a coil. wire.
after you figure out which one it is then you have to either go to www.autozone.com and study chevy wiring or buy a haynes manual for the similar vintage engine. for the external coil I would try a chilton manual for a chev truck before 1972. for HEI anytime thereafter.
I may be off by a few years on the age of the engine. but hopefully you got an idea of what to do, or just google chev engine wiring? and study away.
good luck
looking from the front of engine if its not a transverse engine(side-ways installed), the plugs on the drivers side from left frt to firewall are 1-3-5 and the passenger side from frt to firewall would be 2-4-6-
