Language is available hete for the next time you take it to a mechanic. If I were to do it myself, I'd probably run them correctly under the ram horns then cut the ends at the distributor and recrimp the boots. That'll save the $35 cut to fit spark plug wires cost. I'd be willing to bet your mechanic didn't do that job, but left it up to his oil change guy.
Besides ram horns look too cool to have all that laying around in there.

too many contradictions here.
100/hr is too much? when? when you brought it in or when it comes time to pay? If you can replace one plug.... now,,,, after paying 100. why not all of them befor and for free.? I'll bet those wire are long enough to make you think you can run them under the manifolds, who continues to pay once you realise they dont fit tidily up under the manifolds?
Paying for to get the job done or for the learning curve?
You talkin a savings o 35 bucks but you was willing to pay 100 up front then again out the door, but now in retrospect tryin to save another 35 bucks. and finally; the reason you ought to do it your self and save all of that 100 bills......"The rams look to0 kool to have all that wire hanging off of them."
Of course your right and that my point.... in stead of paying someone to do it for you.
Why not spend the money , screw it up not once but twice or three times, . Finally get it right, be happy, have some change left over,Your manifolds look cool, and on top of all that,,, you have experience
and all of the above is measurably better than getting doped up on OCD meds.
There's always a cure in nature, count yourself lucky it only cost you 100 bills and an ignition set to find that out.
sissy boys.....payin someone else for the high
and finally... look at the title, you are empowering us , buntch of strangers to control and dictate your happyness?
sometimes its not OCD, sometimes its something else.
