Plug wires

The short wires coming off the plug wires and connecting to the valve cover bolts are grounding for less radio noise. I’m guessing? See picture of the L68 plug wires.

There are also pigtails and eyes at the other end of each wire that connect to posts on the wire holders on each side of the distributor. It's quite a challenge to get all 4 eyes on the stud followed by the nut when they are under the wire bundle itself inside a 2" wide space and 2" down below the opening!
