^ The coils themselves are interchangeable. It's the firing order (input sockets and output cables) that must be properly sequenced.

Ray was referring to the coil bracket itself which is stamped with the firing order.

The engine block has similar cast labeling for the 'plugs.

Again, the coil firing order from front to rear of engine bay: leading 1, trailing 1, leading 2, trailing 2
