How To Route Your Spark Plug Wires

[michaelgt]

My question is how do you route your spark plug wires the Ford way I saw something on another form They mention that this was the Ford way to route your spark plug wires you'll have 1 and 6 do a little S maneuver like this.
It's important because crossfire can hurt your engine? Is this true?

Yes. Keep the #5 and #6 separated as much as possible.

That's for the reply do you have pictures on how my spark plug wires should look like

 

[MFE92]

It doesn't matter what they look like, just route the 5 and 6 so they don't leave the distributor next to each other and they're at opposite ends of the separator looms the whole way down.

Ok and why do the 1 and 6 have to make a little S maneuver ?

Don't tie-wrap or tape the wires together in a bundle.
Use some separators like this:

This is from O'Riley's Auto Parts; Advance Auto Parts has them too. The part number is 3677 for both stores.

AutoZone may have them as well, but they didn't come up using a search.

Don't like those?
