dumb questions i'm sure, but i'm new with rx7

Hello
i have a couple basic questions, My car is stock right now.
which of the 2 coils is the leading one.
also which of the spark plugs are the leading ones on the block.
and should i use different plugs for the leading and the trailng?
this t1 t2 isnt making sense to me, or am i just making more out of it than i should?
thank you

T1 is trailing 1 and t2 is trailing 2.. The other to should be marked L1 & L2 for leading 1 and leading 2....

Go with NGK plugs and leading has different plugs then the trailing.

I think? from memory the coil closest the front of the car is the trailing coil. The trailing coil will have a blue boot on its positive, and the - neagtive tach signal will be a blue single pin molex

top plugs are Trailing theres a T on the block
bottom plugs are Leading theres a L on the block

The set closest to the front is rotor 1, thus T1 on top, L1 on the bottom, back rotor is T2 on top, L2 on the bottom
