Default spark plug lead lenght???

i was just fitting some new leads to my car this afternoon and noticed that lenght of the new leads are different to the ones that were on there.
the leads i already had fitted were topgun lpg leads for an au 2 ,they were already numbered with little numbers on them so i just fitted them to the appropriate cylender.
now the new leads i got are just standard topgun leads ,to suit series 2 on.there is 2 long, 2 mid and 2 short.where as the lpg leads i pulled off the car. leads marked 1,3and 4 are the same length and 5 and 6 are the same length(a bit shorter)then number 2 is the shortest. its got me confused.
the cars got the series 2 coil pack (pin style).dose anyone know which length lead goes to what cylender? ie; the 2 long ones go to number 1 and 2 cylinders (just an example)
i know where they go on the coil pack
thanks.

Yep - let me consult my book and I'll be right back (Just had the same issue with the old's car).

Can't find the book, so just use the relative lengths of the leads you just took off, and sort the others in the same order, and then fit them in that order. From memory, the length order is 1-6-5-3-2-4. Once you figure out the lengths, write it down in the back of your owners manual for future reference.
