Info needed: Questions on a ford engine

[Dave Newcomb]

Do I see a spark lead for #5 crossing over the eng.? the firing order leads are usually cross routed at the dist. Early ford V8 fellows hang out at Fordbarn.com and are always ready to answer/solve problems at the Form site there. Newc

Hi Dave,

Perhaps they are, but I copied a NOS set of leads inside a NOS conduit exactly, even down to the bitumen impregnated sleeve that crosses over the engine as a chafing protector. I am also on Ford Barn but a very infrequent visitor. I got good info on truck transmission colour there and a couple other queries.

Added this page from the F15 Driver's Handbook showing how No. 3 and No. 5 spark plug leads cross over the intake manifold which is what I have done with mine.

Cheers
