Why do FMS plug wires come with the wrong end for the short coil wire? Ugh. I just put my new plug wires on, but had to keep the old Taylor coil wire.

My FMS wires had two different coil wires if I remember correctly. At first I was like WTF, too, but then saw the other wire.

The second one is for the Fox. Correct end, but WAY too long.

Yeah, I went through the same thing with mine. But I took the lazy approach and had the long coil wire snaked around to take-up the slack. Boooo-erns

When I add my 6AL box back in the mix. I may just move the coil over to where the Battery used to be.

Heh, I did the same thing. But I just recently ditched the FMS wires and went with some MSD ones.

Taylors fit great and priced the same as FMS.

Me too. Now these are just, just, just barely long enough to fit. Booo-erns.

I didn't know what the hell to think when I was putting them on. I had to check the box twice to make sure it said for 94-95 mustangs.
If I had tall valve covers, I don't think they would have fit.
