L98: Which cylinders get the straight spark plug wire boots?

I am replacing the spark plug wires on my 1989 L98 engine. The original clips, looms, etc. are long gone. I don't think the PO took care with maintaining originality. My replacement spark plug wire set (small cap HEI) has 5 90degree boots and 3 straight boots. I'm trying to figure out which cylinders get the straight boots. I've searched and can't seem to find all the information I need. There was a pic of an untouched 1LE engine which suggests the the #6 cylinder gets a straight boot.

Anyone know for sure? The pictures in the FSM aren't clear, but it looks like 5, 6, and 8 get the straight boots.

I'm hoping someone with an original car can glance under the hood and let me know.

I don't have my original manifolds or wires but cylinders 5, 6 & 8 get the straight boots.
