The firing order is V8 18436572 here is both the v6 and v8 engine (below).

v6 - Firing Order1-6-5-4-3-2

Here is a guide to show you how to tune up your car

https://www.2carpros.com/articles/how-to-tune-up-a-car-engine

Spark plug wire stats.

0-15 inch cable 3,000 - 10,000 ohms.
15-25 inch cable 4,000 - 15,000 ohms.
25-35 inch cable 6,000 - 20,000 ohms.
NOTE: Longer wires should measure about 5,000 to 10,000 ohms per foot.

Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.
