 The way the wires go across the top of the shroud and are fastened to the
 rubberized holders would cause the #2 to be completely hidden (if it were
 present).  Does this seem reasonable?  >>

I haven't seen an explanation on the missing "3", and here is my take on 
it... the "3" dissappeared when the top belt guide appeared... now if someone 
had a caveman car to look at, we could find out if Rickie's thesis is 
correct, since the 60 Corvair routed the spark plug wires in a 
"counter-clockwise" path from the distributor and ending at #2.... 
anyone?............ anyone?............... Bueller?
