3.9L Engine

1. Coil Wire Routing (Figure 11 and 12)

A. Remove the coil wire from the distributor cap tower terminal.

B. Remove the coil wire from the right rear five-wire clip, the center three wire clip and the front one-wire clip on the right valve cover.

C. Install three (3) one-wire clips p/n 56028186 along the top and front of the valve cover studs (Figure 11).

D. Route the coil wire starting from the ignition coil toward the distributor. Any excess wire should end up at the distributor end.

E. Install the coil wire into the one-wire clips. This procedure may be easier to perform while the coil wire is loose from the valve cover (before the one-wire clips are attached to the valve cover studs).

F. Cut the ignition wire convolute p/n 04364375 into three lengths. Two (2) at 101.5 mm (4 in.), and one (1) at 82.5 mm (3.25 in.).

G. Slit and install the three sections of convolute onto the coil wire between the one-wire clips. Install the 82.5 mm (3.25 in.) section at the front of the right valve cover. Install the two 101.5 mm (4 in.) sections along the top side of the right valve cover. This procedure may be easier to perform while the coil wire is loose from the valve cover (before the clips are attached to the valve cover studs).

H. Route the distributor end of the coil wire down and behind the intake manifold, in front of the oil pressure switch (Figure 12).

NOTE:
THE COIL WIRE MUST BE A MINIMUM OF ONE (1) INCH AWAY FROM ANY OTHER IGNITION WIRES. THIS MAY REQUIRE THAT THE COIL WIRE BE ROUTED UNDER VACUUM ANDIOR WIRE HARNESSES IN THE RIGHT REAR CORNER OF THE INTAKE MANIFOLD.

Route the distributor end of the coil wire up the side of the distributor cap and onto the coil wire tower terminal.

J. Position the original piece of coil wire convolute so it protects the wire against chafing with components at the rear of the engine.
