    They've just been looped over the top of the rear distributor instead of coming out from underneath - otherwise looks pretty standard to me. Not sure I like the look.

    Air pump drive would eat the wires up if they were run other way

    +1, I agree

    That's fair enough, not much you can do then :)

    Air pump?? Is that some piece of emissions kit? If so, no such work of the devil anywhere near my motor :D

    Todd -- I believe that your "too short" problem on the 1-4 bank is that '83 US 308QV do use a different wire set on the 1-4 bank than the '84-'85 US 308QV (for the air pump reason that you noted):

    '83 US 308QV (with an air pump)
    1-4 bank wire set = 119245
    5-8 bank wire set = 118826

    '84-'85 US 308QV (without an air pump -- like all euro 308QV)
    1-4 bank wire set = 118827
    5-8 bank wire set = 118826

    Check with your part supplier to make sure that you get the 119245 set for the 1-4 bank.

    Bingo! I spoke with him today about this issue too. (We were not the original seller of the wires ;) )
