914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Easy plug wire routing question

Posted by: oakdalecurtis Aug 22 2016, 03:21 PM

Easy question, just got some new Beru plug wires, haven't installed them yet. When I put the new ones in, does it make any darn difference if the plug wires are run UNDER the existing rubber hoses on top of the engine, or should the plug wires be "a little more free" OVER the top of all the carb and smog rubber hoses? Here's what it looks like now with the existing wires somewhat "under".

Personally I like wires on top to avoid heat.

That's what I would have thought too.

Doesn't really matter. Just keep them away from the wires for the FI system where practical.

Currently the plug wires are under the intake tubes in close proximity to the wires for the FI system. Could that result in arc over or interference with the injectors function or the plug spark? I also read that the wire for #3 should be UNDER the intake tube or it could cause interference with the MPS.
