Default New ignition wires

Any tips or tricks on installing new ignition wires. I just got my new Beru's from Roger. Thanks,

I thought I read elsewhere on this forum that he includes a set of installation instructions. IIRC, someone had posted these instructions in a thread.

Take the old ones off, transfer the plastic wire brackets from old to new, reinstall. Here's the orientation:

I went one step further than Rob ^

I numbered both ends of each lead with a P-touch label maker and then wrapped the numbers with Locktite clear self-fusing tape. Also numbered each position on the distributor caps with the P-touch. Well worth the extra time.

It takes a lot of plugging and unplugging when you are trying to get the wires routed just right and it's much easier when you can just match up the numbers.
