Default 1999 5.7L Plug Wire length

I believe that I may have broken the conductor within my #1 plug wire during my recent trouble-shooting an ignition issue.

I haven't put a meter on it yet, but I do remember not getting a good grip on the boot and my hand slipping down to the wire itself when I tugged it off.
I'm at work right now, don't have access to the vehicle, and want to hit the part store on the way home.

Does anyone know the length of the #1 plug wire? (Looking at the engine, it is the front right plug)

I was thinking 36", but looking at the store's inventory they also have a 41" lead available.

Length won't matter if it's too long.

Why buy just one wire and not replace the entire set?

I just replaced all the wires a few months ago, this one was the only wire disturbed during my recent trouble-shooting.

I figure I'll just get the larger one, and then zippy-tie any slack into a partial coil.

thanks for the responses, it is appreciated.
