The plug hole with a L next to it is leading and the one with the T trailing.

Which basically means, the leading are on the bottom, and the trailing are on the top.

I believe the bottom plugs are the leading ones.

thanks,about a week after i bought this car off my bro,i randomly stuffed some off brand plugs in,they were rotary plugs,but i didnt put the leads and what not where they are suposed to go.and ive had a few smoking problems since then,and it doesnt seem to rev smoothly,it doesnt miss,just not smooth.and the car was fine for 20k before i got my hands on it,so im thinking thats it

so the leads are the bottom,not back,were talking the two closest to the ground right?

No problem, happy driving

rotary>piston

just curious, what exactly makes the plugs different? Different heat ranges? Different gaps? What?
