Plug wire routing

[DMXF]

Ok Bob, I will explain. The picture was simply showing there was a configuration that Ford made with plug wires around the side of the valve cover and I did not label it as Cobra specific. If you read carefully will see that I agreed with Academic in that it was probably not delivered in Cobras (clearly not typical), although with the caveat that there is a possibility that some may have made it into late comp cars. The build sheets used by Ford's Engine & Foundry Experimental Group, where the lightweight engines were all assembled, by 1966 only showed one version that could have been ordered by outfits like Shelby American. While the basic design didn't change too much, by this time the engines would have have been optimized for the primary usage, the GT40. So, for example, if SA was to order a lightweight MR engine for the Cobra in '66, it would have had the C6FE heads, not the C5, etc. There is a reasonable probability that those later engines may have had the around the side plug wires too. BTW, this configuration is also what would have likely been on the team car engines if there ever was a full factory effort, as the standard plug wires are too tight against the 58mm carbs and especially wouldn't clear airboxes that SA typically set the cars up with.
