Firing order digram showing distributor cap and plug wire placement for 1987 dodge d150 with a 5.2L V8

Question edited for clarity. A 'witch' is a lady with a pointy hat that use a broomstick for transport. :>D

The distributor will only go on one way that is a small notch in the cap that drops into a notch on the distributor body.

Here is the 'firing order', what spark plug wire goes where.

FIRING ORDERS NOTE: To avoid confusion, remove and tag the spark plug wires one at a time, for replacement. If a distributor is not keyed for installation with only one orientation, it could have been removed previously and rewired. The resultant wiring would hold the correct firing order, but could change the relative placement of the plug towers in relation to the engine. For this reason it is imperative that you label all wires before disconnecting any of them. Also, before removal, compare the current wiring with the accompanying illustrations. If the current wiring does not match, make notes in your book to reflect how your engine is wired.

Hope this helps.

make sure that its on top dead center and drop the distributor so that the rotor is pointing towards the number one cylinder (sitting in the car left front) put your distributor cap on so the number one plug wire is above where the rotor is firing order is18436572 clock wise and it will fire

First you need to determin witch one is #1 on cap Witch usely is the one directly behind carb. or throutle body. than its perty strate forward from there rotor runs clockwise. Cap only goes on one way. Food for thought when you chg. cap or wires one at a time is the rule even for a seasoned mechanic.
