Re: Spark plug wire looms
I have the blue anodized type that run along the valve covers. They go from 4 wire holders in the rear to 1 in the front. I have an extra chrome set that have never been used I am planning to list for sale on the board soon.

Re: Spark plug wire looms
These are what was on this truck when I got it. I need to change the wires to block but i will probably leave the looms.

You don't use any looms when you mount them under the header. In fact, you can't hardly see the plug wires at all. |

Re: Spark plug wire looms
What supports the wires?. Or do they just stay rigid enough to not flop around?

I made a small flat bracket that points downward, and runs almost along the block, then I neatly used tie wraps to make sort of a wiring harness out of all 4 plug wires on each side, so each wire would only reach the plug it needs to reach and keeps the wires away from the headers -- the group of wires is held to the small bracket by another tie wrap or 2  Simple, effective, appealing, and best of all FREE!!! (except for the tie wraps)

Re: Spark plug wire looms
The wires are no closer to the header than they would be if I ran them over the top. Here's a closeup of those areas.

Re: Spark plug wire looms
I hate to admit it but right now but my wires are just held back from the ramshorns with Zip ties.

Re: Spark plug wire looms
This is BIG news! heat rises too! I'm all over it. That old trick using wire ties to make looms(one inside the other) should keep em together.
