L98 OEM plug wires - straight vs angled
I'm replacing the plug wires on my 87 L98. The old wires were a combination of various brands, lengths and ages 
The OEM set (http://www.madvet.com/shop?frame=1.5575) has three straight plug ends. It appears as if these should route to numbers 3, 4 and 7. Can anyone confirm this?
TIA,
Gary

I replaced the wires on mine with a Taylor set and only one was a different angle as above. Did you get some keepers? I reused the stockers but it was a pain, only one or two broke (you can't tell 
). Man running the wires was a long job.
