Plug wire routing was likely to prevent the possibility of "cross firing" of spark plugs. It is a known phenomenon that running plug wires for longer runs in parallel can cause a radio frequency event that will cause the electrical charge down one plug wire to cause a parallel wire (also depending on firing order of the engine) to gain an electrical charge and this would fire off another cylinder out of proper sequence. I've pondered of this before with my B. That's somewhat the theory anyhow. I'm sure that one of our Engineers can chime in with the truth.

Was this standard on the D's or just something special for the race preparation? Seems like it would be a real pain to access the plugs and get the terminals connected to the plugs. I hope someone will post some pictures of the racing D. It was great to get to view the pictures on our website and relive that super meet. Déjà vu all over again. Let's do that again, soon!
