Dynatec coils and Taylor Leads

I think I'm about to make myself sound even more stoopid and inept than I actually already am, but....

I've just invested in a new set of 3.0 Ohm Dynatek Coils and a set of Taylor leads for my Z1R. I've read the instructions and wiring the low tension side up seems fairly simple. There's nothing mentioned about the High tension side though. How do you know which HT lead goes to which spark plug?

I'm sure the answer is simple and I'll kick myself for not sussing it but I thought it best to ask before stripping the old coils out....

They're paired.

1 and 4 2 and 3.

So for 1st coil either ht lead can go to plug 1 or plug 4

Both plugs fire together.

Wasted spark method.

as i understand it 1 and 4 fire togrther as do 2 and 3, its just that one spark off each coils is not used.(wasted spark) so just, fit as the existing system and it should be fine. . hope that makes sense! im sure a real mechanic will be along in a min! :lol:

Ah.. right.

So just to be clear... LHS Coil leads go to cylinders 1&4 and RHS Coil leads go to cylinders 2&3?
