Zip tie spark plug wire loom
Easy, cost effective, way to route the spark plug wires. I couldn't go down because of the drivers side header, so I went up. I will change the ties to red.

Re: Zip tie spark plug wire loom
Nice...Tell us about the brackets (stand offs) Black ties add some contrast and show off your handy work...Did you make them from valve covers...cleaver!

Re: Zip tie spark plug wire loom
Brackets are made from .90 aluminum sheet. Made a cardboard pattern, transferred it to sheet and used a wood bandsaw to cut it out. I have a finger break for the bend and bead blasted it. I notched the back side to keep the cross tie in place.

That's thinking out side of the box.Looks like it will work out great.I really like when you guys build some thing from nothing.That's what you had to do back in the day.You didn't buy it you built it.

Re: Zip tie spark plug wire loom to distributor
I finished the bracket on the drivers side. My original distributor bracket didn't work out.

Re: Zip tie spark plug wire loom
Anyone who knows me knows I am not a fan of zip ties at all.
You made them work well here and us OCD guys are impressed ![]() Very nice way to think out of the box. Tom

Re: Zip tie spark plug wire loom
Oh that is very pleasing to the eye. I was wondering what you were going to do with the curly q's in the back... well done. Straight or right angle boots on the cap? I'm going with straight on mine next time.

Re: Zip tie spark plug wire loom
If you mean the zip ties, I just cut them off. Mine are 90 degree boots on the cap. I will post a final photo of the finished product.

Re: Zip tie spark plug wire loom
Finished except for final wire cut (need to be shorter) and crimp. Maybe another zip tie or two, to hold the upper together.

Re: Zip tie spark plug wire loom
Looks nice....I tried that one time on a '89 Silverado and it really worked well.
