Mercruiser 898 chevy 5.0 wire routing???

[pete s]

I have looked in the manual but cant seem to find it, does anyone have a pic or can they explain the correct plug wire routing for the spark plug wires on my engine. The PO has them just kind of lying all over the place, the engine is out right now and I would like to correct this.

You can route them as you please. Just make sure they are not touching anything that will burn them and make them get hard. Auto zone should have many differnt types of wire hold downs that you can install to keep them all in a fancy order. My 898 has clips the are mounted at the back of each head, Then i use the little clips In-between the cap and plugs in the loose area's to keep them in order. Hope this helps!
