Weird spark plug wire question

OK I received my plug wires and the question why in the heck is one of them long at the plug end. What did I miss? Thanks

You need to be careful with the routing and seeing that you have an '85 the FSM will still have 'cross-fire' routing shown in the images. there's several threads regarding correct routing.

Joe C it seems to me did some snapshots of the TPI routing requirements.

Here's an appropriate thread with L98 comments.

Goes next to dipstick. Cross 5&7 and you will be just fine
