Answer 1

really before you start you just mark any one and work one at a time til you remove and replace them all  first one wire on either side will be number one .. if you have pulled all the wire off then you got a big mess mechanics dont even pull them all at once... so first you remove old cap and put on new one start any where and pull one wire and put back in new one.. if you didnt do it this way you gong to need a print out from parts store or a book it dont matter if you know which oe it is long as you put on new one first and just do one at a time

I don't get any thing when I click your link. To find #1 on the distributor roll the engine till #1 piston comes up on the compression stroke and when it is near top dead center the rotor will be pointing to #1. Then follow the firing order around the distributor.

Answer 3

fire order should be 1,8,6,4,3,5,7,2.staring with number 1 at the yellow wire,and go around clockwise.and number 2 will be at the red wire..

Ok i tuck a look at your web linkand i hope i can help you , first of all the firing for a chevy v-8 engine is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 clockwise. so the best i can do is starting at the yellow wire and working back to the red wire 5-7-2-1-8-4-3-6 If this doesn't work you can get the # 1 piston up and the rotor inside of  your distributor should be pionting at #1 on the distributor cap.  By the way #1 piston is the front spark plug on the drivers side.
