The firing order for a Dodge 318cid/5.2L is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 clockwise rotation.
Cylinders are numbered like this.
Pass side 2-4-6-8 front to rear.
Driver side 1-3-5-7 front to rear.
The firing order is probably forged into the intake manifold. Number one tower on the distributor cap is the one facing the number one plug or the driver-side headlight.
Distributor rotor at Number 1 plug terminal points to front intake bolt on left side of engine.

I was surprised to find Dodge still using a distributor on this engine.
The firing order is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 and the cylinders on the driver side are 1-3-5-7.

Did you change rotor? (hope so) Double check you wires that you didn't cross a couple.

Here is a firing order diagram and note the position of the locking tabs on the distributor cap, and let me know if you require any further assistance.

Firing order 165432 Clockwise from #1. The cylinder numbers are as follows : From the front of the truck, on the drivers side it is 1-3-5 , on the passenger side 2-4-6. Hope this helps Tim

it's the round plastic piece with a wire inside the distributor

Sounds like it might be choke? Maybe a vacuum line leaking around the throttle body? Or oxygen sensor? Or throttle position sensor? Or mapp sensor?

Not positive, but I would try those in that order. I hope this helps.

make sure the firing order is correctly. going clockwise on the cap it should go 1-6-5-4-3-2 and the cylinders are numbered as follows: passenger side from front to back is 1-3-5 and driver side front to back is 2-4-6
