I just put a new HEI distributor in my 73 Corvette and the wires are a real mess with the current configuration. The leads are really long and untidy with the distributor in the current position.(Lead #1 is currently where I figure lead #3 should be according to the diagram below)
Does anyone have any good ideas for tidying them up with regards to distributor cap orientation. The best I can come up with is if I configure the distributor cap and wires as follows. This has the least amount of unnecessary crossovers of the wires.
Can I cut the plug leads to keep everything neat and tidy, they are Accel leads.
