If you turn the distributor and it backfires, it is a timing issue. Was the distributor been removed?

As far as the firing order, it is as follows:

Firing Order: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6

If you look at the attached picture, it identifies cylinder location and where the distributor number 1 plug wire is located.

Let me know if this helps and exactly what is happening.
