Back in the old days, Ford flipped the wires to help separate plug wires 7 and 8, which had a tendency to cross-fire. Now, I never had a cross-fire wth them in numerical order, but I do have the entire 8 wire order rotated a couple of slots from the original #1 placement, so 7 and 8 don't run along side one another all that much anyway. Truthfully, the Moroso wires are probably just better than the older 60's crap. Here's a shot of the order as specified by Jerry.
