Question Spark plug wires??

I just got the Clewett engineering spark plug wires from our host. I noticed they do not have the ground wire on them like some of the others on the website. Am I missing something or is the ground wire for the steel braid covering on the other wires? Cheers, Mike.

The ground wire is for the steel braid.
Hope this helps,

i used the wire spacers as it became moving from stock to a nice install even though i don't max load them with much bigger spark plug gaps and compression.

8.5 is a nice size imo
