Question Spark Plug Wire Connection on Coil Packs?

I've gotten myself into a pickle here and I can't seem to find the information I need.

I'm in the middle of an engine swap; I'm installing a 2004 4.6L to replace my 1997 4.6L. Of course to do this I'm switching the '04 to Coil Packs and Spark Plug Wires.

Here is where I run into a problem. I marked all my old wires at the plugs and coil packs but it would seem that my marking wasn't as clear as I'd thought it was.

I have 2 wires that are marked on the coil pack end with what apears to be the same marking. So I've a 50 / 50 chance to get it right.

I'd rather I was 100% dead on.

I've searched the forum, my tech manual and in Mitchells to no avail.

Can anyone tell me the which Coil Pack terminal goes to which Spark Plug.

Please,
Doug

Eliminate the other 6 numbers that you CAN read & tell us which 2 you're having trouble with. The coil packs usually have numbers on them, indicating the 2 possible cylinders depending on which group that pack used for.

Just to make sure I understand you correctly, I've modified what you typed. Is this correct?

Dan - My coil packs have deen relocated, so referring to the engine location will not be reliable, and that is why I marked the cp's with the plug numbers. So looking down on each cp with the connector on the left for both sides-

Driver's

P 4 7
L
U
G 8 2



Pass

P 1 6
L
U
G 3 5


I hope this helps.
