Default Sparking Near Coil

I kept noticing an arcing sound today while I had the hood up (it was running of course). I waited until night to see if I could see any spark and I noticed it was sparking at the coil...it was actually between the plug wire and the other terminal (see arrow in photo). I'm sure the plug wires need to be changed..but just making sure there may not be another problem that I need to address

That coil wire is pretty bad, I would start with the wires and I bet that will solve the problem.

I ordered the Magnecor wires on Wednesday from Apex, and they were here at the house when I got home late yesterday afternoon
