Spark plug wiring diagram

I have a 1999 Chevy 2500 work van. 5.7 L It didn't have any wires on it when I got it. Changed plugs, wires, and distributor. It runs now but it seems to not be firing properly. Does anyone know where to find a diagram to make sure I have the wires in the correct location?

I got 2 responses but no information came up on the reply

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

I have a Chevy 2500 pick up truck. My son thought he'd replace the spark plugs. He removed the distributor cap, didn't understand it and now the truck won't start. He did not replace any spark...

firing order for 5.7 v8 is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 mostly all of the chevy v8s are the same firing order. the rotor button in distributer turns clockwise, the cylinder numbers are 1-3-5-7 on drivers side, 2-4-6-8 is on passengers side. To get started get your distrutor cap[new one] look on the top you will see a #1that's where you begin you must know if if rotates clockwise or counter clockwise start in that direction then follow the firing order and cylinder line up. good-day!! if cap is not marked, just pull out #1 plug, put a straw or similar in plug hole on top of piston. turn engine over by crank in front of vehicle with a wrench, when the piston comes to the very top just before it starts going down. this is tdc. and rotor button should be pointing to #1 wire on dist, cap. follow from there. good-day !!

On 96 chevy van cylinder 5 misfire changed plugs wires cap n rotor checked coil n egnition modulator

Check the plug wires with a spark tester, to see if they all spark good. That will verify all of the parts you replaced. If they look good, do a compression test on cylinder five.
