I sincerely apologize for the late response...Due to the bad economic situation this site has had a substantial (+50%) increase in the number of questions being asked in the last four months.

I am not sure if you have the 1/2, 3/4 or 1-Ton model.
Also Not sure if you have the 4.3L, 5.0L, 5.7L or 7.0L Engine. However I have included all below.

For the 4.3L (6cylinders):
Firing Order:
1-6-5-4-3-2
Cylinders:
6------------5
4------------3
2------------1
(front of vehicle)
Distributor:
coil wire-->
-----6------->............<--------5-------
-----4------->............<--------1-------
-----2------->............<--------3-------
............(front of vehicle)

For the 5.0L AND 5.7L AND 7.0L (8-cylinders):
Firing Order:
1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2
Cylinders:
8-----------7
6-----------5
4-----------3
2-----------1
(front of vehicle)
Distributor:
coil wire-->
-----6------->............<--------5-------
-----4------->............<--------3-------
-----2------->............<--------7-------
-----8------->............<--------1-------
............(front of vehicle)

Van 2006 chevy express turns over wont fire even with starting fluid

If it will not hit with spraying starting fluid, that indicates that you have a no fire condition. Start at the spark plugs and work your way in from there. Wires, coil, crank trigger, fuse.

No spark to engine 1991 ford pickup

It can be faulty or dirty spark plug itselfd.Also for reference get the fuel level checked.Is the fuel tank is empty or near to empty.
Try cleaning the spark plugs and then see if that is helpin.On some cases the black carbon layer gets collected on the spark plugs and that causes the problem,so cleaning the plugs help.But if its not helping,then spark plug has to be replaced.Spark plugs get power from ignition coil to ignite sparks.If ignitioncoils are faulty then also there will no spark.--------------

To troubleshot and confirm the issue,i suggest you to go through the help links provided below,check the procedure and it will help you to confirm the issue in your case.

I can't figure out how to change my spark plug wires to the right fireing pattern on my Chevy exspress 2500 5.7l 1999 van

go to a parts store and open a book called specs for that type engine or call the dealer and they will give you the order of firing you need free also ask for distributor firing order this will allow you to match the distributor to the spark plug order on engine
