I can't seem to locate my old PCV valve to replace it. I also messed up the order of my wires. The part that is connected to the spark plugs in the back are correct. From left to right, they go 1, 3, 5. I don't know what order the other ends of the wires are supposed to be in at the front part of the engine. Please help!

Thank you, I found the pcv valve. I am still having trouble with the wires. I understand what the firing order is. But in what order do I plug the other ends of the 1, 3, and 5 wires into? 2, 4, and 6 do not have plugs going into them. The wires plug into cylinders 1, 3 and 5. There are 3 connectors that the wires are supposed to plug into on the front of the engine, near the number 2, 4, and 6 plugs. Where does the #1 cylinder wire plug into? The left one, the middle one. Or the one on the right? And the same with the number 3 cylinder and the number 5 cylinder? I'm not sure if i'm explaining myself properly.
