Spark Plugs (Leading and Trailing)
Hey guys i just put new plugs in my car today for the first time and i asked my friend who used to have an FC and he didnt quite remember but said he thought he remembered it Leading in the top Trailing in the lower, i said to be sure i'd look on the old ones and see which were where, and they were leading in the upper trailing in the lower just as he said, as i was putting the second set in, on the right side of the block i saw a T next to the top hole and an L next to the lower hole, so to double check I looked in the Haynes manual and sure enough the old ones were in the incorrect places..
My question is what does this do? It seemed to run fine with the plugs installed incorrectly. Is there any potential damage done to my motor? or are they just a small detail?

Pretty sure that it's incorrect in one of the places in my Haynes manual.
Easiest way to remember...
TRAILING=TOP
LEADING=LOWER
T and L, doesn't get any easier than that!
Just swap em back to where they should be and don't worry about it.

not that i want to steal your thread but since you're talking about plugs... i've noticed that mines are all the same... i'm running with 4 equal plugs... is this good or bad?? because some people told me that there was no problem at all to do this and it's actully better than having two types of plugs...
