Ignition question/issue....

[edasmus]

Can some of you folks answer a few possibly somewhat silly questions?

1) Which mag is right and which is left on our IO-360-G engines? Is it left and right as viewed from behind the engine or standing in front of the engine at the spinner?

2) If I put the mag switch on "R" on the rear engine and cylinder #5 drops off line, which plug is bad? Is it the top one or the bottom one? Also, I assume in this case, I am turning off the left mag when I put the switch to "R". Is this true?

Thanks for the help.

I'll be a little more detailed with my issue when I have more time to type.
