Spark Plug Wire Problem?!?!

Hey All!

Ok, so here's the problem...I was planning on changing my plugs and wires today on my truck, it's a 1998 Ford F-150 with the 4.6L Romeo Engine. My uncle dropped by and after he saw what I was doing offered to do the plugs and wires for me for $40...I've done this job before...I'm jumping on that wagon because I've seen him fix his own vehicles before so he has knowledge...or so I thought! I went into my house to grab a few drinks and stuff...gone about 20 mins. Come back and he has 2 plugs in already...good job but why aren't the wires connected to them??? He told me he knew what he was doing and it'd start. Sure did start! But now when I give it a shot of gas it sounds like it's sucking in air and doesn't get the power it used to. I'm think he crossed 2 wires and it's not going in the order it should? If this was what happened would it even start? I would have thought not...but maybe? What I need know is to find some kind of schematic that shows where each plug wires goes after they are all conected up? Any idea where I could find this? It sucks when your truck won't get up and go like it used too!! Thanks in advance for any help!

Jason.

If it is all the same as the early 90's 4.6's:

P. side coil pack
1-3
6-5

D. side
7-8
4-2

#1 cylinder is front P. side #5 is front D side
