You have all plugs connected with an electric bar and single wire coming from relay.
Only couple plugs are hard to reach and sometimes require disconnecting fuel lines.
Depends on the outdoor temperatures the engine will start even with 2 dead plugs.
With 3 dead and warm weather it might still start with some cranking. I had old Volkswagen, that did start with dead relay, but even above 70 F it took few minutes of cranking to start.

what ive herd from other sights and books is that the 5 plugs are connected and that if the first one were to fail then none of them will work, but ime not sure if this on the 82' i think its on the 80'

Are you trying to see what's under your hood by typing on the Internet?
