spark plug wire resistance

I have a 88 NA rx7 and I need help figuring out which spark plug goes to where. I know that T1 and L1 are the front and T2 L2 are the rear BUT which resistance wires do I use? I have 2 that have 5.56 Kohms and 2 that are about 6.6 Kohms. Do I put the 5.56 on leading or trailing?

I've tried looking in my Hynes service manual. Chapter 5 is engine electrical but it refers me to chapter 1 then refers me back to chapter 5 and can't find anything about what the resistance should be.

It doesn't really matter.
The resistances are close enough that it's not going to be that big of a deal.
If they are stock, one has a white mark or tape on it.
That one goes where the leading coil tower with the white mark.

That's why you take one off at a time! Try it one way, if it runs like crap, swap them.
