Negative im kinda new to this.. checking spark is just pulling a spark plug and touching it to the block? does it matter what plug?

how would I check for fuel I smelled it when it was cranking

Ok so the jeep is still sitting in my drive way

is this the right diagram for the plugs cause its what I used.. of course i took no pictures or waiting to get my repair manual
Only thing I can think I would have done wrong is if the screw holes are in the wrong place on this Picture.. would it hurt anything to move all the plugs over by one?

check your ignition coil...if you changed all the other stuff, and you still aren't getting spark, check the coil...should be located right in front of the cap(towards the front of the Jeep)...if you get the coil off, take it to advance, or oreilly...they can't say for sure if the coil is bad, but they can check the resistance, if the resistance shows in the normal range, start checking all your ground wires, make sure you have good connections to the starter, battery...etc, then check your fuses as well...
