Coil to Plugs Leads Help

[vanastasis]

Hi All,

has anyone got any info on coil leads to plugs ? VP Commodore Vacationer V6 3.8L

friend played a joke and removed all of them and dont know where they go back now,


they had been completely removed.

so i need coil 1 - L1, 2 - R2 so i can fix

i know sounds stupid but hey he regrets it now lol

[immortality]

the standard coils have numbers on each output post representing the cylinder it should fire. if you don't ahve the original coils then it's a little more difficult

don't know which coil goes where.

i just put bosch leads on mine and they dont even have numbers on it so i just put them 1 by 1 the longer ones on the left side of my car and the small ones on the right side. i got a problem but im managing it ok i think 1 of my leads always pops out of its place it doesnt seem to click in like the others do hmm i might have to check it out i dunno.

1,3,5 down the passenger side, 2,4,6 down the drivers. A good way to tell where number 1 is on a V engine is to look across the V, the bank that is further forward will be number 1 at the front.

My bosch leads dont clip on. Have you noticed they still fell a little loose ? Do the heat shield and spring on yours go all they way down against the block, or does it stop just above the plug hex ? Also if you stare down the end of the boot, there is a metal tab sticking out, on one of mine its missing, i may have pushed it out not sure. I haven't had a miss fire yet. My old leads i just took off never had those tabs.
