Default Plug Wires

I just changed my spark plugs and plug wires and im not sure what order the wires were supposed to be in. I put them all on in the spots i thought they were supposed to be and drove around and the car drove fine but it just sounds weird. Anyone have a diagram i can look at to see if i have them on right? I looked at a pic of a D16Y7 and i could only see the first two cylinders wires and i have those right. What order should they be in?

Darn. Should of went with the DIY that millscivic made up. Next time, change one spark plug at a time to avoid it. I think there are digital manuals around somewhere.

The same thing happened to me sort a, I forgot to takethe plug wiresoff one at a time and place the new wires back in the same order. I had to keep switching it around trying to start it untill I found one that got it to run but rough...so I new I was close, switched one around and the fireing order was right.
If it's running really rough (which you'll be able to tell) then your close but one is off. But if it's running (not stammering running really rough, or not turning over at all), then you have the plug wires inright order.
