Generally the wires are routed to the left and right of the distributor down behind the rear of the value covers. The wires then just plug into rear plugs. The wires to the front plug are routed thru a chromed u-shaped channels behind the exhuast manifolds to the front plugs.

I can't post pictures here, so send me your email address and I send you a picture.
