Need diagram of firing order for '96 Olds Silhouette Mini Van

The engine was overhauled for my brother. He sold me the van for $500 to get it out of the yard. Said it wasn't right and didn't want to spend more time and money on it. I brought it 178 miles home and parked it. My son in law came today to put on a new tension pulley and serpentine belt and said the plug wires weren't right. He is a certified GM mechanic but spent his time on Chevy Cameros so this wasn't something he felt familiar with. We couldn't find a wiring diagram anywhere. Hoping you can help. Thank you for any help we can get. Any info on timing???

My 2002 Olds minivan is overheating. I changed thermostat and flushed radiator, bled the air from the air valves and changed the temp sending unit. It does not leak fluid and waterpump and belt are on...
My 02 silhouette just started having the same problem and I was told it was the head gasket. I was told mini vans with the 3.4 engine have this problem after a certain amount of miles. My brother has had this happen in 2 different vans with same engine. Hope this helps.
