It's hard to go wrong by following the original factory wiring/routing using all factory stand offs and looms.

So there is a documented position for the wires? Can't find it in my factory books.

Don't know what to tell you what to tell you. All of my Ford service manuals has pictures of the spark plug wire routing.

In general:
  • Don't let the wires touch each other
  • Don't let the wires rest on metal parts.
  • If the wires have to touch each other have them cross at right angles.
  • If the plug wires run in the same direction, separate as much as possible.

Thank you. I was just curious. I do watch for those things.
