Plug wires - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

65ZR1 · 03-03-2010

I bought a new set of AC Delco wires ( not cylinder numbers) to replace my originals. I took the time to measure each wire to aid in installing the new ones. The problem is, I cant find where I wrote it down. Can anyone measure an original set of wires and tell me how long each wire is and what cylinder it goes to?

Thanks in advance!

Non-ancient replacements are not numbered.

I know the wires of non OEM are not numbered, but the OEM coils are thus my 'connect the numbers'

He doesn't know which wire belongs to which cylinder. Or else I'm not understanding what you are saying?

Just slowly relook at my post.. OEM coil pacs with numbers and then what I ID the spark plug sequence per bank. Not trying to make this an issue just making it simple

Agreed it works with the information we both provided.

It would be nice to have some NOS numbered coils

Thanks for the help guys. Listing them from longest to shortest should get the job done. Thanks also for the pictures, I do have a shop manual though. I knew where they went but didnt want to spend a lot of time trying to figure out wich length of wire works best.

Do you mean in addition to the information Xlr8 provided about lengths? If so, I didn't get that part. I thought you were saying that by knowing the coil pack sequence and the engine bank sequence, that he could figure out which wire goes where.

I'm also not trying to make it an issue, just trying to understand what you meant.
