anybody got a great link to inductive crossfire (plug wires) on the small block windsors

I had a good link & lost it a while back that explained which wires need to be separated

(I know about cyl 7-8 btw)...but I think there was others

having some driveability issues...slight miss at speed...but not ALL the time...strange

If wires are in top shape, consider it a mute point myself.

If wires are in top shape

I remember fighting this issue back in the day. Even with new wires, re routing certain wires helped, but not always. Sometimes the plug wire didn't fully seat on the plugs. I was never happy unless I felt that "click" when plugging them on. Yap I like coil on plugs. LOL

Dodge V8s in some Jeeps and pickups, most prone I've ever seen to correct wire routing.

I found spark plug wires are only good for one season when subjected to underhood temps (a la twin turbo).
BTW, I have a set of Ford blue 9mm new in the box...

mine route from the bottom (ol school hot rod trick)...heat rises...when I got them away from the heat

things were a lot better...wrapped headers also...but ya gimme a pm with the price thanks

replacing wires plugs cap rotor...never hurts
