Default spark plug misfire??

We changed the spark plugs tonight and now it will not start i was wondering if someone has a diagram so we can check to see if we did this right or if something is wrong ??? we followed the order on the distributor we just dont see why its not starting. The last two spark plugs on the passenger side had a little bit of oil around the tip of it.

Well cylinder #1 is the passenger side front and goes back to 3. Cylinder 4 is driver's front and goes back to 6.
