The distributor is indexed correctly but thanks for the suggestion.

Perhaps a call to Kevin Marti to confirm there wasn't a packaging issue? I won't buy from SEMO either. I won't elaborate here.
You can't use the standard 390/428. They will be short. The tall aluminum valve covers do make a difference.
Kevin should be able to provide correct length for each wire per application. As I stated, #1 is clocked about 130.  The wires fit perfectly.

I bought two sets and haven't got as far as comparing the two. I suspect that perhaps this was a set for the 428 PI with the chrome covers and got mislabeled? Tomorrow.

Technically they fit but 4, 7, & 8 just make it and could be stressed out.

I went to SEMO because they had date choices. Other vendors generally don't and offer to order them for you.

I get the part that these parts are hand made and with something like wire sets can easily get confused.

I would have thought them the same too but the short covers do make a difference.  I was starting to think you had a mis-package  or someone bought them and switched them making the error we discussed.

I will put Inspector Clouseau on the case. I haven't checked the second set yet.
