That would make sense as it would keep the plug wires as short as possible and keep from crossing from side to side. The down side would be if a coil failed, that cylinder would be completely dead. But, then why are they labled 1/4 2/5 and 3/6 like a wasted spark system? There's more to this story!
Edit: I just read the posted manual pages. At the bottom of the last page under "Operation", it states that this is a wasted spark system, thus the 1/4, 2/5, etc are correct. So, with this design and the way the coils are mounted, the plug wires will have to cross the engine. You can minimize this by mounting the coils on the little shelf between the rear seat and the engine like I did. The wires will still have to crisscross but at least they will be neater and out of the way! The instructions also say to mount the control box in a cool spot and I put the control box for my system on the little flatspot just below the passenger side rear seat. Moving things around is much easier to do while the engine is out of the car! So, it looks like you now have enough info to make this one work, or you can shell out about $1300 for an Electromotive system!
