I'll take Mike's word for those being the right parts. If they don't 
have the right angle dist cap ends, then you should NOT use them. 
They SHOULD fit, and fit in the OE routing. If they don't, I suggest 
that you take the 3 longest ones and put them in the 3 shortest 
positions. Then make up a long one to reach to cyl 1.

I never use the sets, except for parts. The OE wiresets came with 
ends that screw onto both ends of the wire. This allows you to 
replace individual parts as necessary rather than the whole thing. It 
also means that you get to cut your own wire to the exact length that 
works best in your car.

I stock good quality metal core SP wire and can sell it by the foot. 
I also have all the individual parts, some new and most used. The 
only parts that ever require replacement are the resistor ends, the 
air seals, and the wire.
