I did some related work recently on my 1995 C36. The #6 cylinder is under the coil pack so it's wire is more of a long plug extension , about 5" and it can be swapped with the other cylinders that have the coil packs ( #2 & #4)
The other cylinders 1,3,5 use a plug wire that is of different lengths.
My problem was a misfire on #3 , it turned out to be the coil pack. When I swapped the coil pack over #4 with the coil pack over #6 the misfire moved to cylinder #1. I replaced the bad coil pack and it's running well now.
