Hey everyone..I did search this, but couldn't find a definitive answer/good pic..

I'm just wondering what the correct routing is for the #4 plug wire (passenger side, rearmost plug) on a 5.0 - I had it routed between the valve cover and the intake, there was a clip on the back of the valve cover I believe? At any rate, the wire ended up against the EGR tube and melted. I kept the old wires, so I do have a spare, but I'd like to route it however it was done from the factory.

Any pics, descriptions, or what have you are greatly appreciated.
 






There is some 1/2" gap between them. Ridiculous!

Thanks for the pic..my valve cover didn't have that clip on top, so I guess they changed them somewhere along the way? Or mine broke somewhere along the way?? I ended up running it the same way as before, but liberally using zip ties to make sure it wouldn't end up against anything it wasn't supposed to.
