Quick Question - on the Leading Coil, it is not marked which one is L1 and L2. (Oddly, on the Trailing Coil, T1 and T2 are marked). Is the leftmost pole (towards the driver's side of the car) L1? Thanks for helping me do the final things to get my basketcase together!

 

The pole closest to the battery is the one for the first rotor. That pole should also have a white or red marking on it to designate that it is L1. If it does not, it might be a good idea to mark it so now.

 

it doesnt matter, they fire at the same time

 

as for the plug wires
l= lower
t=top

easy to remember...see mazda enginmeneers knew some stuff...

 

^^^ Speaks the truth..

 

You just sent a thousand newbies out to their cars to change their plug wires around...
