Here's the best I can do for you;

The coil at the front is the TRAILING coil.
The coil at the rear is the LEADING coil.

Leading and Trailing coil leads go to the center of the distributor and to the outside edge of the distributor cap (not marked)

On the outside edge of the distributor cap are marked T1, T2, L1, L2 (T for Trailing, L for Leading).

On the sparkplugs (housings), TRAILING is on the top, LEADING is on the bottom. Rotor housing 1 is toward the front, Rotor housing 2 is to the rear.

This should get you pretty close, but the coil leads on the distributor may not be marked. Check the FSM or your Haynes manual to see routing information, also check under the hood on a placard. HTH,

Front coil is the trailing coil goes to T on distributor
Rear coil is the leading coil and goes L on distributor (middle of cap)

T1 goes to the Top front rotor.
L1 goest to the Lower front rotor.
T2 goes to the Top rear rotor.
L2 goes to the Lower rear rotor.
