Distributor Spark Plug Wire Orientation

If the engine runs, nothing you can do to "change orientation" is going to change anything.

Someone on here likes to say that "the distributor can point to China," LOL

There ARE engines where "this matters." The Odd / even fire V6s, and some industrial 4 whangers have cylinders "paired" so that every other pair of cylinders fires closer together

This is not an issue on any straight 6 or V8 that I'm aware of.

The only reason that there is a "specified way" is so that..........

The assembly line folks can "wrench, repeat."

the spark plug wires "lay" like they should

and tune up mechanics "see" what they expect.
