Flooded '90 RX7 and question about lead and trailing plugs

Flooded the engine and pulled the plugs and EGI fuse; cranked engine several time.

Re-installed plugs and it still won't fire.

Just want to make sure I re-installed plugs and wires correctly.

As you lean over the engine from the drivers side of the car. L1 is the bottom front (towards fan) plug and T1 is the top plug just above L1 and L2 is the bottom plug closes to firewall and T2 is the top plug above L2.

CORRECT??

How much oil do you put in each rotory? And do you put the oil in the lead or trail plug hole?


Thanks for any input.

Leading plugs are the bottom ones, trailing is the to ones

front of the motor is 1, back of the motor is 2

Leading plug cables can be reversed and the car will still run fine.
