Last time I did plug wires - I did the cut to length ones....what a PITA they are....what set are about the right length considering I don't use the shields and run through the motor mount and all that ?

The wires are in sequential order from front to back: Left side 1 3 5 7 Right side 2 4 6 8.

Received this from Prestolite Performance, Accel parent company:
"We do not currently make it in black. Our company trademark colors are red for automotive, and blue for our marine distributors. We are always looking for new ideas, and appreciate your input. We have regular meetings on new products, and will keep an eye on this for increase demands.
The corrected cap is p/n 8141R (for red). I've been told by some customers that they have painted the outside of their caps with a high temp paint to make it black, although we don't necessarily advocate that idea since you might get overspray on the terminals or other places where you don't want it.
Thanks,
Regards,
Craig"

yes you can paint your cap, i tape off the terminal areas where the wires connect,
But they will scratch and show thru red,
so be carefull and don't scratch while working on other stuff
