This looks like Déjà vu all over again! I posted the question to find out for you.
While your working on that, look for a white permanent sticker w/ black print under your hood (usually on the top of the cover to your air filter housing). It will have your gap, & other pertinent info (it it's still there).

My air filter housin is in the bed of my truck.... i ripped it out because it was junk. No stickers on it. I got the left side (passenger side) mapped out.... Number 1 cylinder goes to the back of the dist, 2 goes to the 6th position (going clockwise from the back where number 1 hooks in), 3 goes to the 4th spot, 4 goes to the 7th spot. Not sure bout the drivers side....

Follow the wire from the distributor post next to the #1 post counterclockwise, to the cylinder. That cylinder is #? (will be #3 or #5)

Ok... I believe I got it. This is were each wire goes. Followed each wire from the cylinder back to the dist. Going counter clockwise on the dist they are: #1 cylinder (foward most on passenger side) goes to the #1 post, #2 goes to the #4 post, 3 to the # 6, 4 to the #3, 5 to the #2, 6 to the #5, 7 goes to 7 and 8 goes to 8... That is how it is set up. I believe I got the numbers right

Firing order= 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8
Cylinders are 1-2-3-4 front to back on the passenger side and 5-6-7-8 on the drivers. Distributor rotation is counterclockwise.

I do not own one.

Thank's Sean. Would you happen to know if it calls for a .042-.046 or .052-.056 plug gap?

I'm think it the later, but I don't want to suggest a .060 gap for his coil if it call's for the same as mine .042-.046.
