Default 153624 = Combustion Sequence/Firing Order

Do you actually think that #6 could fire after #1?
That is impossible by looking at the crank!
The crank would need to spin a whole 360 for the next fire/ignition if that were true, and that only happens with twins (2 cylinders), if we are discussing four stroke engines (meaning 360 degrees of crank rotation for each ignition).

Here is a picture of the crank I am selling, notice that the 1&6, 2&5, and 3&4 crank pins will move the pistons up and down at the same time, in synchonozation, although the actuall firing will be 360 degrees behind each other, or 3 each other as I have already stated in the order.

What you see on your coil packs is not the firing order in terms of combustion, that is a false assumption if you think that the coil packs denote when combustion happens!

If you don't take my word for it, I guess I will need to look it up of you
And here it is from http://www.cygnusx1.net/supra/librar.../em/EM_03.html :

You may be thinking of some other term, but it is generally accepted that firing order denotes the sequence that combustion occurs in the cylinders.
