Arrow Two plug wire questions: Routing and salvaging

I took a pic of the routing on the driver's side. Can anyone verify this is correct? It seems to work the best.

Also, one of my wires is torn, not badly enough to see an actual wire. Can this still cause problems? These are new and I dont want to replace them again. I have heard of users using electrical tape to repair them. Would that keep the negative effects from happening?

If you have the stock manifolds, I think they go in the metal holder that runs under the manifolds. Looks ok if you keep them away from heat.

I'd replace it. I'm not sure how well taping it up would do, but maybe others have tried it that can comment.

Re: Two plug wire questions: Routing and salvaging

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but electricity takes the path of least resistance(as do most things in life ) and since I'm pretty sure the resistance of electrical tape is far less than plug wire insulation., I would think you would still run the chance of losing spark and arching against something metal.. I, personally, would just replace them. Besides, if that electrical tape gets near anything hot it'll melt and smell bad

What about the routing, is it correct for the #7 wire?
