Default HELP! Spark Plug Wire issue

I am not a machanic and made the dumbest mistake possible when replacing my distributor cap and spark plugs...I pulled the plugs completely off first. Anyway, where I am at now is trying to figure out what length is appropriate each cylinder...I have the firing order diagram...can anyone help me with which length goes to what? Fortunately I have them seperated in 2 groups because 4 of the wires were tied together and I was able to measure that.

Longest goes to one and two.

Next length goes to 3 and 4.

Etc.

Firing order is stamped on the top of the intake manifold. Just make sure the firing order on the cap is correct, for which wires you put where. Also, have a gander at the TSB on spark plug wire routing in the DIY section.

Firing order goes in a clockwise rotation around the distributor....just in case you still needed that.
