Spark plug wires(tried to search)

[Big_Jeep]

For a 1999 Jeep TJ Sport 4.0l

Was just going to change the plugs but of course the wires were shot as well .
1-5-3-6-2-4 This is how I have them set up from the distributor(looking from the passenger side if the dis was a clock) -
@11 o'clock goes to cylinder 1(closest to firewall)
@1 o'clock goes to cylinder 6
@3 o'clock goes to cylinder 2
@5 o'clock goes to cylinder 4
@7 o'clock goes to cylinder 5
@9 o'clock goes to cylinder 3

I did not touch the distributor, and its still miss firing. Any suggestions
This may make it easier http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/80/heepdist.jpg/ I cant insert the image for some reason

Thanks Frenchy. Are you using the same order for the cylinders as I found? 1-5-3-6-2-4 with one being closest to the firewall?

Look at the pic, #3 is closest to the firewall.

Look at the pic, #3 is closest to the firewall.

I can see that #3 labelled on the distributor is closest to the fire wall.
So from the distributor(as per Frenchys picture -
#3 goes to cylinder #6(closest to firewall)
#6 goes to cylinder #5
#5 goes to cylinder #4
#2 goes to cylinder #3
#1 goes to cylinder #2
#4 goes to cylinder #1

This also matches up with the length of the cables. Now it just wont turnover where as whatever I had before would just misfire

Think about why #1 is labelled #1

Why would #2 be labelled #2?

[Big_Jeep]

See its the wires that have screwed me up. The ones labelled #3 and 4 are the longest(and I read thats how they were supposed to match - longest outaside, med for 2 and 5 and short for 3 and 4)
. Sorry for the hassle guys, and thanks Frenchy for your assistance

OK, it's arts & crafts time 

Right click my picture above and select "print".
Cut it out nicely so that it fits on your motor mount right beside the distributor.

Pull all the wires..

Plug a wire into the front most spark plug (#1), the other end of that wire needs to be plugged into the  #1 location on the picture.

Plug a wire into the second from the front spark plug (#2), the other end of that wire needs to be plugged into the 2 location on the picture right beside your distributor.

carry on with the 3rd from front, 4th, etc...
Coil wire goes to the center plug on distributor.

  No No No I got it after your last post. No need to dummy it up any more for this dummy . I was just over thinking because the numbers on the wires. So I just ignored them and went with what fit

I always replace one wire at a time.....maybe I'm crazy?

Ya thats just silly... almost as silly as just lookin at the sticker  attached to the hood, or the manual.
