Taylor wire installation(L98)

on my '91 L98 i am getting ready to install the wires and one end of one of them is not at a 90 degree angle(appears to be more like 135 degrees). Does this end go to the spark plug or the coil?

You got the wrong wires man... If thats the way all of them are... Alot of wires are made that way to fit special angeled heads and headers I suppose... Try to make them work, or try to get 90s on both sides... I have one or two taylor boots laying around we could start a collection and you could redo the ends

On my 1988 one of the plug boots was a 45* not a 90* like the rest. I don't remember which one tho. (maybe #4).

You have the right wires. I have a 91 as well with the Taylors. That wire you are talking about goes on the left bank as you look at the front of the engine. It goes on the third cylinder back from the front of the engine. The weird angle end goes on the plug so it will clear the dip stick. Hope this helps.

The number 6 plug takes a straight boot on my 89.

Ditto what CSHuman says, it goes by the oil dip stick.

Thanks for all the help and your time. Hopefully they will be in before the weekend. The look many times better than the faded grey wires that are currently on.
