Firing order and plug location question.

Firing order and plug location question.
Ok, I've not been a technician or mechanic, but I've done my fair share of basic auto work. I read the firing order on ls1's to be 1872 6543. Where is #6 located? I have a p0306 code and she flashed for about 10 seconds. Starting to wonder if I broke another valvespring. Thanks.

Next replaced that wire, mind you I had all 8 plugs and wires and injectors waiting to be put in but instead of installing it all at once I wanted to just concentrate on that cyl. Anyway the wire did't cure the problem either.
Next I swapped the coil pack with #4 cyl. hoping the code would follow over to cyl.#4,NOPE. Last thing to do was #6's injector. Still nothing. So basically I went over evrything that would cause a misfire on that cyl. and nothing worked. So I go to put on the rest of my stuff, injectors,plugs,wires. Well when I pulled out # 8(the bitch of all plugs) it was soaking wet with gas. Hadn't fired in a while by the looks of it. Evidently either the actron scanner which I used two diffent ones, or my cars computer was saying it was the wrong cyl. it was #8 the whole time. I thought this was odd,but very glad because evryone was telling me I had a broken valve spring because of what all I had done to cyl #6 and nothing had fixed it.
Just thought I'd share my story

Cool. Big time thanks for the help. So, Tranzaman00, was it just the #8 plug was bad or what? I have a XER cam and manley valve springs. Mine occured right after start up as I have a habit of goosing it in 1st right after I pull out of my work parking lot. It has already broken one other valve spring but I haven't heard that gross sound. I'll check those two back plugs on the passenger back side. Those are also the ones I had to put spark plug wire heat shields on. I'll check it this evening. Thanks.
ps- I would hope scanners don't tell you different codes. That would suck.

Yep, just a bad plug. I have read other post where this has happened to other people as well. I'm kind of glad to here your tech said the same thing.
