Default replaced intake manifold gasket now it backfires help!

Ok so in my 98 blazer I just got done replacing the intake manifold gaskets, oil cooler lines, spark plugs and wires, distributor cap and rotor button. The problem is now that I have everything back together it is hesitant to start and once running the fan runs all the time and it backfires every few seconds it also is running a little rough it also smells a little of raw fuel out of the exhaust only thing I can think of is the distributor is off but I'm not really sure what else it could be any help would be greatly appreciated

Are the wires in the right firing order? Is it throwing any codes?

I believe that it goes 3-1-5 on the cap though... Were you connecting the wires per the numbers located on the top of the cap?
