Spark Plug Wires

Hey, I'm not very good with the car stuff so bear with me. I just changed out my spark plugs and I'm about to change out the wires. I got some boshe wires on order and they should be here monday. My question is.... are all the wires going to be the same or do some of them have to go on the leading plugs and some have to go on the trailing plugs? Thanks!

The wires themselves are the same, but will be slightly different lengths. Just match them up to the lengths of the original wires.

Take one off at a time, so that way you don't mismatch the wires to the distributer. The lengths won't be perfect, so just choose the closest fitting one.

try do do 1 wire at a time, if you take them all off at once, you have a bigger risk of putting them on wrong. if you some how get confused, look up the shop manual and get the order. a saw a guy get $400 bull **** capacitor wires for his crappy honda and take all the OE wire off at once, didnt remeber the order they went on and got massive detonation when he tried to start his car. Even after he got the right order, it never ran the same again.

If you make that mistake on a rotary, im sure your going to pop a seal, and the engine will be done! rotarys dont like detonation!
