Angry firing order

Background,
92 4.9 head replaced cause it was cracked, the head was open left open but didn't seize,this was started 7 months ago. Got it all put back together and started it up last night. Had one heck of a exhaust leak. Retightened all the bolts. Leak fixed but still sounds like *****. Missing and popping like crazy. You can time the miss/pop.. 1 2 pop 1 2 pop 1 2 pop. Someone told me that it sounded like it was cross-wired. Don't see how since I marked each plug wire with tape numbered 1-6 as looking down the motor. Now just incase I was dyslexic that day and screwed up could someone please tell me what the firing order is and how the wires should be placed on the dist. going around it.(no I didn't take the wires off the dist. but who knows what happened to this truck wile it was sitting in a neighbors yard. Bolts seemed to have mysteriously disappeared along with a few other items. They have the same size motor but different year.). Took the truck for a test drive to see if it would straighten its self out and couldnt get above 40, no change in the sound with speed.. just a steady 1 2 pop 1 2 pop.
Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Firing order is 153624, it goes clockwise on the dizzy. 1 is near the bottom next to the screw or clip that holds down the cap. It should have a #1 next to it.
