You're right but it's easier to think of them as rear bank and front bank, rear bank are odd (1,3,5 counting from passenger side) and front are even (2,4,6). Last time I looked, my spark plug wires had numbers on them to help me out in case I got lost. ;)

Thanks for the help! i did the cahnge and my car runs way better. I was arching before. I follewed your directions one at a time like everyone else told me and everything went great. The only hard one was damn plug wire number 3! Getting that on the disributor is a tight fit! I dont know if its just my car but theres a loom of wires in the way and its very hard to get it on. I did though and now my car along with the plugs runs way better!
