It doesn't matter what wire goes where, as long as you use the long ones for the cylinders towards the rear.

if your car is 85 / 86 or older...... (i think 86 were still this order)

It's really self explanatory. The long wires go to the rear cylinders, the short wires go to the front cylinders, and the rest go inbetween. My dog could figure it out.
