65 327 Plug Wire Replacement
I found a bad plug wire and I have decided to replace the full set. Fortunatley the bad wire was cylinder 5 and cylinders 5-8 were easily replaced. Looking at cylinders 1-4 the wires go behind the engine mounts.
Will I be able to feed the wires through that space or will I have to remove the engine mount? I am thinking that the coil end of the plug wire should go through the space.

Follow John Z's suggestion. And to make it easier, I cut off the plug connector on the old wire and attached the new wire, distributor end, to the old wire, at the plug end, using a long piece of bailing wire. Then I just pulled the old wire through the engine mount, through the chrome channel till the bailing wire was all the way through. Then I pulled the bailing wire with the new wire through the engine mount and chrome channel. All eight wires took only a couple of hours.
