Show me your sparkplug wire routing/looms!!

[oldblue1968chevy]

Post how you routed your plug wires, Zip ties? fancy looms lets see em!

(trying to get ideas for myself, centerbolt heads, ram horns)

[big_al_71]

here are a couple of picts of mine..

Dang Big Al !! ! That is one clean looking engine bay!

oldblue1968chevy - I think what you are going to find out with your Ramhorn exhaust manifolds that you will be very limited on how you can route your spark plug wires.

Good luck.

There are some very creative folks here and someone may be able to share some pictures of what they have come up with.

A couple of mine. I haven't taken the time to organize at the dizzy yet, but I do like the looms.

Here is a picture of how I had mine routed for a long time:


I have since gone to a factory-style set up of the wire routing. I used '75 vette wires to get them the right length, though you'll have 1 wire too short if you use all the 67-70 factory looms. If you've got a throttle cable instead of a rod, and use the 71-72 stuff, I bet it will come out perfect.

Kind of off topic, but I'd like to know the color blue you have on your truck its awsome! Above poster that is. I just zip tie them because its still a wip and when I get the crate motor in there ill run them factory style.

I ran mine on my truck and Blazer like a 75-80 Corvette. The front two on both side run down, and come up thru the motor mounts. Clean and almost unnoticed.

Thanks! Its Rustoleum Sail Blue

Here's how I ran mine, with 75 Vette wires for HEI. Hope this helps?

[oldblue1968chevy]

Im upgrading to cable throttle anyways...

So vette wires are ok on a mild 350? (see sig)?

cable throttle, 71 72 facotry looms, vette cables 1975

okay

Here's what I've got. Not sure it will work with the ram horns though.

Where did you guys get your looms from and what brand???

Hello, I have a question and hopefully someone will help. I am really digging those looms that run beside the valve covers but will the typical "over the valve cover" plug wire be long enough to run in the looms? Thanks for any and all help.

[WarMonger]

went with ceramic plugs for the heat.

Short answer is no. Almost positive you'd have to use the longer 'under the exhaust manifold/header' type to get the length needed, or just buy the wire in bulk and crimp your own. The DUI LiveWires I got that are over the manifold are way to short to go into a loom along the valvecovers. On the LiveWires, I used zip ties, because the wires have a protective sleeve over them that makes them too fat for regular wire separators.

I've tried the 90* boot Pertronix Flamethrower wires too, and they seemed like they might be long enough, but it would be really close.

Here's my setup I used to have them hidden under the manifolds but I burnt some wires and it was impossible to work on so this was the solution

I like these, can you provide some info on them? My HEI wires are very long and the stock looms don't do a good job of containing them in an orderly fashion.
