Late Bus Spark Plug Wires Routing

[tractoman]

I have searched without finding the answer so here goes. I got new Bosch 09171 plug wires for my bus. I checked the resistance before installing them to be sure I am dealing with good wires. They seem within spec, by the way, with the 1k and 1.4k ohm insulators. The question is, is there a correct way for these to be installed and should the short and long insulators correlate with the shorter or longer wires? Are the 1k and 1.4k ohm wires supposed to be on specific cylinders or do I just put them on for the best fit? This has me puzzled.

Put them on for best fit. If you have a late bay, the sparkplugs are at different depth in the cooling tin. This is why there are short and long connectors. Good luck!

The long connectors are for cylinders #2 and #4.

You can both cut your cables to length and actually dress them such that they do not touch one another at any point on the engine. That is best.
