Spark plug cables on the 5.7L engine are paired on
cylinders 1/6, 2/3, 4/7 and 5/8. Before removing or
disconnecting any spark plug cables, note their orig-
inal position (Fig. 55). Remove cables one-at-a-time.
To prevent ignition crossfire, spark plug cables

MUST be placed in cable tray (routing loom) into
their original position. The cable retention clips (Fig.
55) must also be securly locked.
Before installing spark plug cables to either the
spark plugs or coils, apply dielectric grease to inside
of boots.
If cable tray removal is necessary, release the 4
tray-to-manifold retention clips (Fig. 55).

INSTALLATION

Install cables into the proper engine cylinder firing
order sequence. Refer to Specifications.
When replacing the spark plug and coil cables,
route the cables correctly and secure them in the
proper retainers. Failure to route the cables properly
may cause the radio to reproduce ignition noise. It
could also cause cross-ignition of the plugs, or, may
short-circuit the cables to ground.
When installing new cables, make sure a positive
connection is made. A snap should be felt when a
good connection is made between the plug cable and
the distributor cap tower.
