Look carefully at the ICM, the order is cast onto the metal.

Cast onto the rim, IIRC, under the coils.

If it makes routing the wires any cleaner, the two wires on any single coil can be interchanged, since both fire at the same time. This may be why you have found confusing info in postings.

It's called loost spark ignition, the power cylinder burns fuel, the lost spark cylinder fires the plug to help emissions. The lost spark cylinder is empty, top of the exhaust stroke, IIRC.
