Just bought a new set of coils for a 1983 115 HP Johnson. it comes wired together for the port side. How do I know which one goes where?
There's an "A" & a "B" side in the manual, but it doesn't show top or bottom. I like liked to know how to tell the A/B side for each side.

Thanks in advanced for your help.

I do have a manual, it just doesn't show this detail. I assume I have them backwards that will mess with the timing.

Thank you oldboat1, I'll assume the coil numbers on the drawing is associated with the firing order. Correct?

The A is for the top coil # 1----And A is for # 2 on the other side.

On the motor side of the plugs with orange wires - the orange with blue stripe is to the top coil.

The drawing that Oldboat1 supplied did the trick, got the coils in the right position and everything worked great. I found a similar drawing before but it didn't show the position numbers like the one oldboat1 supplied.

Thanks for the help.. already had a successful weekend on the water.
