    It kills me to post this but......Can anyone tell me the order of plug wires from longest to shortest for a 455? I want to get it looking right. Cheers, Mike

    Depends on no1 location on the cap, and how you want them routed but generally 1 and 3 will be the shortest, then 5,7,4,8,6

    Hugger, Isn't #1 on the line of the distributer? Here's a couple shots of my issue.

    First, if you want perfect length wires, make a set yourself, get a universal set and make them perfect. Any ready made set will have several wires that are too long. Take all the wires off and lay them out shortest to longest. Then install them paying attention to how long they should be. It won't be perfect, but it will be as good as it gets. With the universal sets, you measure and cut the wire and crimp on the distributor end.

    I really like the Taylor universal 45° sets. They have several can't remember the ones I been getting may be the spiro pro not sure. But the boots are supper tough and easy to grip and twist
