wire change isn't a fix. i'm a total noob on chaning spark plugs.

this is really confusing. My book labels the front of the block (side closest to radiator) as 1-3-5. The wires I disconnected are labeled as 2-4-6 and the coil pack numbering says 2-4-6 also? I can't imagine the numbering on the wires being wrong. Maybe my book is wrong? It's a Haynes book that lists several Buick years/models.

From the beginning I think I've connected these wires correctly. The coil packs are labeled and I matched them correctly from the start. Looks that way to me.

The car sure sounds terrible. The engine revs all high when I start it then starts choking when it trys to idle. It has the hardest time trying to idle. Just pressing on the gas a little causes the engine to rev all high. Is there a idle-lever or something I bumped? Or does this sound like wires being mixed up?
