This may be a dumb question, but how are the spark plugs numbered (Order)?

Front of Car 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 Back of Car

or

Front of Car 6 - 5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1 Back of Car

Don't unplug the old set on your car all at once.

The best way to go, is to un bolt the old loom and lay the new set next to the old and one by one replace each line. Same with the cap, just use the old as a guide while its still on the car. If you get confused just trace each line from the plug to the cap.

This saves the old problem of mixing up a wire and starting up like a washing machine full of shoes.

Good luck

Sparky? I wasn't going to unplug the old set all at one time. The method you explained was already how I was going to do it. I just was going to label them with a label maker first and din't want to look foolish by numbering them wrong.

Thank you though.

Got the wires labeled on each end. Maybe too much detail?
