Help please! My car doesn't wanna start and it doesn't seem to be the battery.
This guy who repaired my radiator just changed the plugs and put the Leading ones on the top and Trailing on the bottom. Is that right, or is it the wrong way and causes my car not to start?

I'm probably wrong but i think the T is on the top and the L is on the bottom. the housing should tell you.

- in my haynes manual it shows a pic of one way then in the text is says the other.... odd

i believe the leading is on bottom... and then the trailing...
cuz that'd make the gases nearer the direction of rotation combust earlier than the ones near the intake.. in order to keep the direction constant.. hehe shrug am i rite?

REAL easy guys,
T=Top
L=Lower

Plus, they are labeled on the coils.

Once again,

T=Top or Trailing
L=Lower or Leading
hope this helps,
hanman
