Spark plug wire diagram

Alright, I picked up a set of spark plug wires and changed them out, but stupid me must have crossed one or 2 the wrong way.

Can anyone tell me the correct cylinder for the numbers on the distributor cap (example: #1 to lower right - as if you are looking on top of the engine). Or give me a picture with the top of the engine that shows the plug wires and where they plug into the distributor cap. The car is running rough as h*ll and I tried re-installing the old wires and its still running the same way.

Please help. I have searched for 10 minutes here and no luck.

Thanks a bunch. After searching for pics of VG engines on cardoman, I was able to map each wire and where it went.

Car ran rough, then straightened itself out. I only removed the dist. cap to check for any cracks, and there wasn't. Put it back in the same manner. I am guessing the dist rotor had to "find" its path. I did go out and buy a new dist. rotor today as well. THe rough running stopped after I was coming back from Advance Auto.

internetautomart man. I'd sent you so many emails and pms but you never replied as you used to. Just wanna let you know my neighbors just gave me my windows regulator in a beated up box. Yeah, I ordered it 3 months ago and just got it today. It was sitting in his house for over a month cuz your boys sent it to the wrong address the whole time and you never gave me my tracking number when I requested. Lucky me, I just installed it and it works.

I replied to your e-mails. you are correct that I never got you a tracking #, I rarely get to see them myself. I'm trying to improve the system but it's kinda tough being a one man operation basically.
oh and next time try just having it shipped to your confirmed address, that way the address part is gauranteed to be right.
