The Factory Service Manual can be found in the FAQ For FC thread. It contains all this information and more, and is an essential tool for any sort of service work that needs to be performed on these cars.
Additionally, the Haynes service manual for the 1986 thru 1991 RX-7 (both turbo and NA) can be found at most local auto parts stores or purchased from any good bookstore (ISBN number 1 56392 007 7). It is only about $25 and is a great quick reference for things like this. Not only does it contain most of the information in the FSM condensed into an easy to read format, but it includes full wiring diagrams as well.
These manuals will answer 99% of service related questions for the car and if you intend to do your own repair work, you will need at least one of them. Preferably both, since the FSM is a free download.

Next time take a photo or write it down before pulling it apart... ![Wink](https://www.rx7club.com/images/smilies/wink.gif)

This is one of the very few things the FSM or Haynes don't actually cover, since pulling the coils apart is not something Mazda would do. They'd just replace them. But definitely follow Aaron's advice anyway.
