They've got some numbered clips you can put on the wires from the parts store for like $3. But their supplier is out of them right now.

I do like how the OEM coils have the numbers on them too. If I have to replace a coil, I'd probably number it.

Keep in mind, Delphi makes the wire and the boot. I have a set of BOSCH plug wires that say BOSCH on the wire but Delphi on the boot.

To know what "box" set of wires you bought, I would go by the wording on the wire itself.

I install delco plugs and wires all the time and never have any issues with the plugs, most of them are iridium tipped now and the # for 3.4's and L36's is 41-101. I just 6 into my wife's Torrent. The 8 digit part number was identical to the originals. After 164,000km's the gap was still exactly 0.060"
I would stick with acdelco products they are proven quality in my experience.
