1968 Shelby GT500 V8 Spark Plug Wire Routing Diagram - Cylinders 1-8 Callouts
Service-manual engine view with numbered hose/vacuum routing callouts around the carburetor and valve cover.
This document is a scanned reference photograph (figure number beginning "B 3106-") from an automotive service publication showing spark plug wire routing on a V8 engine equipped with a four-barrel carburetor. The photo is taken from the front of the engine and uses circled numbered callouts (1 through 8) with arrows to identify each spark plug wire, both where it attaches at the distributor cap area on top of the engine and where it routes down each cylinder bank to its spark plug. Cylinders 1 through 4 are indicated along the right-hand bank (as photographed) and cylinders 5 through 8 along the left-hand bank, with wires shown passing through routing brackets/looms along the valve covers. A reader can use this figure to verify correct firing-order wire placement at the distributor and to duplicate factory wire routing and separator bracket positions, which helps prevent crossfire and misrouting after a tune-up or engine service. No caption, legend text, engine displacement, or model-year information is legible on the page itself; the only readable printed text is the partial figure code in the upper right corner.
