correct spark plug wire routing (thru clasps)

[alchemist]

For the drivers side, I sorta took off all of the wires, 5-8, without paying attention to the wire order on each loom or wire holder. For the one against the firewall, i know only wire 8 will go on that one, but the next one has three wires on it, 6, 7, and 8. What's the correct order, top to bottom. For the next clip, there are four wires held, 5 - 8. What's the order for that one? Finally, there's a clasp up near the distributor. What's the order for that one?

OK, maybe it doesn't matter, just trying to keep things as they were.

thanks.

I do believe you start from the bottom of the clasp with the shortest wire and work your way up to the next longest. I got the ford racing 9mm wires so I had to get aftermarket wire looms.

I would agree Kyle

I don't think it was quite like that when I found it. Makes sense it should be but wasn't that way. I remember thinking that too. Especially #5 has a weird routing due to that damn bracket that holds the airbox

From the top it's 8756 on the first loop. because of the bracket bs. 876 on the next. And so on.


Kyle, where did you get the 9mm wire separators?

I think they worked pretty well
