Spark Plug wire Help
Quick question for you Gurus. I was telling you about the Cough spudder problem.
I got another set of Plug wires, this time the same thing. 7 wires with 90° boots on either end.
Then there is one Wire that has one 90° boot and then a long boot with a slight bend in it. This is the wire that I thought was a Coil wire.
My question is this, This long boot must go to one of the Plugs that is hard to reach or that is close to the Exhaust or something similar to that.
Do you guys know which Plug it goes on? I would follow the old set but it didn't have this configuration so I am kinda stuck.

#6? Right side?? Passenger or Driver side? and do you count from the front back? 2, 4, 6, 8, and 1, 3, 5, 7?
I'll probably get beat up everyday for a week for asking that one.
That's alright, I appreciate you guys helping me out.

When Right and left is referred to, it's always while sitting in the car. Right is passenger, left driver ('cept for the guys on Oz 
).
Odd # cylinders are all on driver's side, even on passenger. # 1 is the left front cylinder, #2 is Right front, #3 is the cylinder right behind #1. They are numbered left to right, front to back.

OK with that, The #6 cylinder is where the old wire burned, so that makes perfect sense. Maybe that Plug is too close to an exhaust manifold or something. All I know is that trying to put a 90° boot on that plug is really difficult.
I'll try the straight boot on that plug and see how it fits.
thank you.

Always do your plug wires one at a time so you don't skew the firing order.
