Plug wire placement “I searched”

I don’t have the little plastic cover that tells you which one is 1 and 2 on the trailing coils. I assumed that that coil near the front of the car is for the 1 rotor and the one near the driver is the one for the 2 rotor. Can anyone confirm this? When I say the coil near the front of the car I am not talking about the one on the shock tower that’s for the leading plugs, I am talking about the two coils that are for the trailing spark.

Thanks

Talking

Coolant? Whats that?! My old Rover 214 ran just fine without that... (actually, thats a lie. Those of you in the know will appreciate the Rover K series engine. And its head gasket problems. :-)) Sorry. Totally off topic reply. I'll shut up now.

Just for future reference. Whenever I replace plugs and wires. I remove one at a time, so I don't get them crossed and I can hold the old one to the new ones for comparison.
