One crapped out completely. The driver's side just needed a little lube.

New plug wires along with new 4 hole grommets. Spent some time studying the manual on wire routing, then several hours routing wires. I used up most of my collection of two, three and four wire separators along with about two dozen zip ties, making sure that each wire is routed as close as possible to the factory and separated from grounds and each other. Wires 3, 5, 4 and 6 get fiberglass fabric insulating sleeves at the plug ends so the above picture doesn't happen again.

Looks like that took care of it. Idle is smooth but a little like it has a little bigger cam then I'm used to. Took a long drive with lots of stop-starts, and easy acceleration is now smooth. Had it up to 115mph this morning on I40.
