Need plug wire/exhaust manifold advice....

I need to figure out how to keep my plug wires away from my exhaust manifolds. I don't have any clips or anything, so I've been strategically using zip-ties to keep them well situated, and it looks like hell. The plug wires I'm running now are stock wires (to go under the manifolds) for a SB Chevy from NAPA.

Here are my questions:

1. Since I need to do a tune-up anyway what set of new wires should I get (so I can give myself some extra length)? I need them long because of the manifolds, and I have stock heads, but I'd like to make sure my ignition is rock solid. I'm running single points (no, I'm not going to HEI any time soon).

2. What set of clips can I get to either take the wires above near the intake manifold or simply away from the exhaust manifold so they don't melt AND the engine compartment looks good? (not like the dope smokin' old man tinkered with my engine on a camping trip gone bad)?
