Default Mixed up spark plug cables !! HELP ME !

Hi...

Im new to engines and everything and I tried to change the spark plugs on my '95 DODGE RAMVAN...

Here's what I did :
- Opened the indoor front block that covers the engine
- Disconnected all 9 wires plugged into the spark plug box ( Tought they were spark plugs but there's nothing but a swivel thingy under this cap / 8 around a center one )
- Now I realize that I aint found my spark plugs and when I connect the cables back randomly, the engine goes crazy and doesnt start...
- I've been told that there's a very specific cable for each plug...

WHERE CAN I GET A SCHEMATIC TO RECONNECT EVERYTHING CORRECTLY ?
And ... Where are those #$?@ spark plugs anyway ?

Thx.... I really am in an emergency here...

The spark plugs are screwed into the sides of the heads (where the exhause manifolds are). The #1 cylinder is the front drivers side bank. The firing order is usually stamped on the intake.
