Need to see a image of how plug wires go on a 1992 oldsmobile 88 royale

Intake manifold normally has firing order cast in, or get a shop manual. The hard part can be finding which should be #1, especially if you have had the distributor removed. Use compression gauge to find TDC compression stroke on #1 and see where rotor is pointing.

I would like to know the specifications for replacing the spark plugs I need to know the order in which they are put in

there is no order to do it in.if you`ve never done this before then just replace one plug at a time and re-install the wire back onto it.just tighten them snug and don`t over tighten them
