93 E150 5.8 plug wire lengths

I have a set of replacement plug wires for the van. So can I replace them one at a time, would someone share the relative lengths of the plug wires by cylinder? Or at least the longest and shortest and I'll take it from there.

Thanks,
Sixto

Not sure anyone will have that info. Take out one, and pick a new one of equal length.

In my experience, no two aftermarket plug wire sets have wires the exact same length. If I'm lucky, one set will be consistently longer or shorter but more often some wires will be longer and some will be shorter. The job wasn't bad. I only had to redo one wire that had already been installed so each has the same amount of slack. I would have taken notes but I replaced aftermarket with aftermarket so I would have compounded unknowns. Whoever designed that air pump plumbing should be tarred and feathered. I get to have fun again at 220K miles Hey, at least it's not a small block Mopar - a little tuneup - PeachParts Mercedes ShopForum

Do wires from the dealer come numbered? Mopar wire sets for the B3500/360 and Caravan/3.3 are numbered. It wonder if the cost premium is worth saving a half hour of measuring wires.
