Plug Wire Routing - Just need pic

Recently changed my plug wires to fix my sluggish/misfire. However I did not take pictures of the original routing of the wires.

The wires are hooked up correctly. What I am looking for is the correct wire weave at the two coils and over the alternator. Once I started to try to get the wires into the clips it looked like a rookie routed them together (which I am).

I just need 2 quick pictures of the left and right coil pack areas with the original factory routing/weave showing what wire goes over/under and order to get mine to look more like factory original.

1999 F150 XLT 4.6L (2 coil packs mounted on the front left and right side of the engine.)

Thanks in advance

Perfect!!

Thanks Billybob69 for the quick reply, will look for it this afternoon.

Makes me rethink why I didn't spend the extra money when I bought my cell phone to get the one with the camera in it. This is the perfect use for one.

Great pics!

Awesome, thanks for the pics. Unfortunately yours looks nothing like mine. You must have coilovers, as I have a complete spaghetti knot of 8mm plug wires running from the the coil packs on the front of the engine to the spark plugs.

I will take a pic tonight and post to let you see what I am dealing with.

Thanks again Billybob69 for taking the time. I really appreciate that.

Jeremy
