Default Coil Packs.. Which one is Which?

Well in the fall when i took the coil packs off, i forgot to label which side is for which, How do i tell the difference??? (i bagged and tagged everything else.. hmm)

I was looking for somthing obvious.. but didnt really see anything.

Hopefully it'll be running again this weekend..

The coils themselves dont matter...the brackets i think only fit on one side. Try one side, if it doesnt fit, it goes on the other side.

The only thing that makes a difference is how the connector and wires are routed in the coil pack bracket. If one side is wired differently then there will be problems if it is placed on the opposite side, which i think is the case. If they were smart, they would have made the coil pack bolt patterns non interchangeable.. (hopefully)

If you put them in and it doesnt start, you might have to switch them 180 out
