This should be an easy question for you guys.

I recently completely removed my HT leads during a valve clearance check of my 2003 Thunderbird.
I checked the HT leads were labeled and I know the cylinders are numbered 1-3 left to right (sitting on the bike).
But what is the correct order of the coils. I suspect that its 1-3 front to back because the HT's seem to sit comfortably in this position.

I would just like to have this confirmed. I have read my haynes cover to cover and found no mention. I am having nightmares about sparking with a valve open or something.

This is my first post as up till now all my questions have already been answered somewhere on this brilliant site.

Thanks in advance.

there is a picture on this page:

that confirms the order you suspect (front to rear) 1 - 2 -3. Look for the yellow labels on the plug wires. Pretty good article too.
