I didnt disconnect the wires from the distributor I just took them out of the head, and I labled them also so I know they're in the right spot. thanks

when you tighten down the rockers did it tell you to torque them down to a certain amount

That depends on how you're interpreting that picture. The firing order is NOT 6 5 4 3 2 1 That's simply telling you which cylinder is labeled which number. Look on your intake because the firing order is cast right into it. The correct firing order is 1 5 3 6 2 4 and the rotor spins clockwise just like the picture shows.

I hope this worked for you!

yes it did, it said to torque it down to 19 but my wrench only goes down to 25 so I torqued them to that. I didnt think that an extra 6 ft lbs would hurt.

Nope, requires an AOL login. Use photobucket and it'll work. So how about the firing order? Is yours correct?
