The distributor turns anticlockwise. The firing order is 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8 with, numbering from the front, 1-2-3-4 on the left side and 5-6-7-8 on the right. Remove sparkplug #1 and loosely fit a cork in its place. Hand rotate the engne to TDC mark on the lower pulley. When the cork 'pops' #1 cylinder is ready to fire. Look inside the distributor cap, thr rotor is pointing toward where plug lead 1 fits. Follow the firing order counter clockwise from there. The lesson is change the leads one-at-a-time in future!

1995 Chevy s-10 Blazer Why I have fire from distributor to coil but no fire from new coil to plugs?
The spark travels from the coil to the distributor then from the distributor to the plugs. So if you have spark going into the distributor but not coming out to the plugs, I would blame the distributor cap and rotor being at fault.

The user manual that came with your vehicle will point you in the right direction.

You then use a spark plug spanner to remove and reinstall your new plugs.
