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?
