Default Renix Spark Plug Diagram

Hello all:

Any chance one of you can direct me to the correct diagram for the spark plug wires on an 87 4.0? I keep reading that the diagram in the manual is incorrect, and I cannot find the right one on the forum.

Been searching 20 minutes, but am evidently typing in the right phase.

Thanks in advance!

Here is a picture of how the wires are currently connected. I wanted to make sure they were right before I started moving anything else as I have never worked on a distributor.

ok, thanks.

So, if I'm looking at this correctly, the wires are hooked up as they are supposed to be. Correct?

I have a 87 Renix (build date 86)..

coming out of the cap it looks right to me

since I cant see where they end up I cant say if they are hooked up right on that end
