I am looking for ideas on running the plug wires using a center bolt valve cover. IF you have this application can you please post up your set up

The yellow bowtie looks cool.

On my Ramjet 350 we ran them down and back.

great ideas.
I cant run the center bolt holders as the covers I have, the bolt head is sunk in the cover to mount flush.
I would need to fab some sort of holder and mount it to a open intak bolt. or run down and then back. But then I would need to shield the wires from the head heat.

I run mine under the headers with little plastic clamps, works good and much cleaner being hidden IMO.

I think I might try this.... the clips are the basic ones I assume. How did you mount them under the headers?

My plug wires look terrible

Yep they are just basic wire separators. There's a small unused threaded hole on each side of the block that I screwed a 1"x3" piece of aluminum sheet metal to, they keep the wires against the block and away from the headers. Been on there that way for 35k miles and haven't come close to hurting a wire.

i ran them under the headers, nothing fancy.

remist17 · 11-08-2010, 01:46 PM

Well all I tried to run the wires down but they come way to close to the headers. I would have to run sleeves or something on the wires. Anyone can post the venders that they purchased the looms from? I called summit and jegs no luck.

running a pair of headers I had at the garage not sure the brand....
