New harnesses generally have each wire marked for the proper plug position. Harnesses for the C-145/O-300 are marked differently than those for the big bore engines. Since either size engine may use the same mags, It's possible someone installed the wrong harnesses.
That seems very plausible. In my particular case, the harness isn't marked. I'm going to replace my mags soon, and I'll install the new ones per the O300 book.

Thanks!
