Spark plug wires?

Hello. With all the work I am doing, I managed to tear one of my plug wires. Got a replacement set, I wanted to know, as long as I don't goof the firing order, could I change the length of the wires from dissy to plug? Some of my rear most wires that are on now, are stretched tight, while some front ones are really long. Does length factor in for some reason? Thanks, Blair

Use common sense...

The longer the wire, the further spark plug it's suppose to go. The shortest ones are for the front. The longest ones are for the spark plug closest to the firewall.

Thanks fellas. I thought it wasa dumb question, but I always match up the old to the new, the last guy has the lengths screwy. My back plug wires were stretched tight over the valve covers. I'm changing that. Thanks again, Blair
