Wire Routing

Why not Number cylinders on valve cover like ferrari has done, that's what I did.

Maybe use your favorite color may I suggest a stencil in black?
Then link the caps to the numbers..at least the caps are numbered for left and right with the correct firing order.

Hey Y'all, newbie here. I made a rookie mistake of removing all of the spark plug wires at once and thought I'd be able to place them back correctly. My question is, in the picture you shared of the coils the one on the left side that I placed the green square on, does it go to the passenger side cap or the drivers side. Any info is highly appreciated. TIA!

The coil in the green square goes to the passenger side. The photos in post #3 should help with the rest of the routing.

Also, as Jon noted in post #4, the plastic "X-tray" has numbers stamped on the bottom of each channel which specify the order of each wire, top to bottom. When routed correctly, it should look like the photos in post #3 above.

Welcome to the forum!
