You may want to just do it yourself. Start with the shortest wire and run it to the closest cylinder. Then continue on until you have the longest wire, and it should go to the cylinder farthest away.

Basic rule of thumb, the longest wires will go to the passenger side. They run across the top of the intake manifold, down behind the alternator, and under the exhaust manifold.

Also, the coils are mounted front to back: 3-6, 2-5, 1-4.

One piece of advice, if you have a strut tower brace, there is a bracket on the block, below the alternator, that the spark plug wires and the alternator output wire are attached to. That bracket is held on by a 1/2 inch bolt (yes, 1/2 inch, not metric). Take that bracket out, and zip-tie, or otherwise securely attach those wires, to the strut tower brace.

Taking that bracket out will make your life much easier when it comes to installing plug wires and plugs.

Do you have a 3.4 or a 3.8? The routing is a slight bit different on a 3.4.

well.... my board name is cammed 3800 so 3.8 [img]tongue.gif[/img]

If you still loom them from the stock looms, then the longest to shortest should be 6-1-4-2-3-5. That "should be" longest to shortest, but don't quote me on that.
