Something is not right here. I did answer to this particular thread a few days ago...
Anyway:
1-5-3-6-2-4
Have in mind that on the Vauxhall coil pack two cylinders are interchanged for the TVR installation. I would have to look up which ones. The numbers stamped on the pack do NOT match for those two!
Regards,
Björn.

I know this is a really old thread but I came across it looking for something else and am intrigued.
The coil pack, which comes from a Vauxhall V6, is numbered like this :
135
246
The vauxhall V6 has a firing order of 123456. This suggests the coil pack is firing in sequence top-bottom and then along the row.
The Lead connection order using this coil pack for the TVR Speed 6 is :
135
642
This suggests the firing order is 163452 and not 153624 (as you would expect for a straight 6).
Can anyone point out why the above anomaly exists? Is it doe to an unusual cylinder numbering on the Vauxhall V6?
Regards
Phil.

Phil,
coil pack is numbered
1-3-5
4-6-2
(If you look at it being installed to the engine, since the numbers are written upside down then.)
Then for the Speed Six number 4 and 6 are interchanged.
Which means the leads are installed like
1-3-5
6-4-2
Which means my firing order is rubbish, and should be
1-6-3-4-5-2

Hello Björn,
on the ignition coil, every connector of one column fires at the same moment, so if the connection of the leads is:
1-3-5
6-4-2
the order can't be 1-6-3-4-5-2, because between 1 and 6 (and 3/4 and 5/2) should be 360° crankshaft rotation.
So your first idea of 1-5-3-6-2-4 is possible....
