I don't know if your 95 GT is anything like my 90 GL, but when I put my new plug wires and distributor in, the correct order was on the side of the distributor itself. If it isn't, it is in the Ford Probe repair manual, Haynes edition. You can get it at Autozone for 20 bucks. Seems like a lot for a manual, but sometimes it does come in handy. Hope this helps.

Then take one plug wire at a time, and plug them in.

Distributes the spark energy from the coil to the spark plugs in the correct firing order.
To change spark plugs a person must start with a car that is off, then disconnect the batter. The person must then remove the spark plug cables, remove the spark plugs, and replace them with new spark plugs. After that, one must put the spark plug cables back in the correct order, then connect the battery.
The main reason a car misfires is because the spark plug wires are not installed correctly. Check the car's firing order to ensure the spark plug wires running from the distributor cap to the spark plugs (in the cylinders) are in the right order. One or more spark plugs could be damaged or worn so the firing order is correct, but the spark plugs are not sparking into the spark plug wires to ignite the engine.
It is important to replace old spark plugs to keep a car engine running well. To replace them disconnect the battery, remove the cables, remove the old spark plugs, replace with the new spark plugs, replace the cables in the correct order, and connect the battery.
Manufacturer recommended spark plug gap should be .044 I beleive. Keep in mind that some plugs come pre gapped and dont need any gapping, depending on which ones you get. -Shaun
The distributor send high voltage from the ignition coil to the spark plugs. It ensures that they fire at the correct time and in the correct order.
According to one of Fords websites : A 1990 Ford Probe , 2.2L four cylinder engine has the spark plugs gapped at : ( .044 inch )
.044 inch according to fordparts.com
Make sure the firing order is correct that you didn't mix up the leads when changing plugs.
The correct order of 'spark plugs' should be the firing order, which is: 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6. Standing in front of the car, with a transverse engine, the cylinders next to the fire wall are from left to right; 1 ,3 ,5. the cylinders in front from left to right are, 2 ,4 , 6.
Get a tune up. Replace cap and rotor, spark plugs, spark plug wires, and make sure the wires are in the correct firing order.
