1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 is the fireing order. #1 cylinder is on left front of engine. the dist. turns clockwise, remove # 1 plug and bring engine to top dead center through plug hole. use a straw or similar to tell if piston is all the way up. turn engine at the crankshaft damper bolt by hand. if it gets to top dead center, then rotor will be pointing to number 1 in distributor. have a good day!!

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.
