It also results in the original plug wire lengths to the distributor cap different and the lengths will not be optimum. </div><div>When I restored my Griffith with the 347 striker, I went to Taylor Vertex and bought a set of high temp wires and specified 12 extra inches on all whites. I had them install the spark plug bolts and I custom fit the other end while making sure the wires were optimally routed. Then I terminated the wires myself at the distributor cap. <br><br><div dir="ltr">From<span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.292969); -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); "> Don's iPhone 203-592-8427</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.292969); -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); ">Or 203-264-8301 home</span></div></div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On Aug 25, 2021, at 12:23 PM, Will Seay <Tigers@embarqmail.com> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">I recently decided to replace my plug wires with a new set that has the correct OEM markings. As simple as this process sounds, it turned into a great adventure for me. I won't relate all the details of the adventure but there was a question that arose that I hope someone can answer for me. The shop manual contains a drawing that shows the correct routing for the plug wires. On each side of the engine the wires go through a couple of wire guides that provide the correct spacing and routing for the wires. On the right side the wires are routed in the order 1-2-3-4. On the left side the order is 7-5-6-8. The text in the manual explains that the reason for this order is to provide separation between the number 7 and 8 wires. Seven and 8 are adjacent in the firing order and routing their wires in close parallel as they would be if the routing order were the expected 5-6-7-8, might lead to induced current between 7 and 8 resulting in misfire. I routed my wires according to the advice of the shop manual. My question is, was the original (factory) order 7-5-6-8 or was it 5-6-7-8?</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br clear="all"></div><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr">Will - 382001570 <br><a href="mailto:Tigers@embarqmail.com" target="_blank">Tigers@embarqmail.com</a></div></div></div></div>
