Re: Spark plug wires and routing!!!!!

Have you searched? This has been discussed quite a bit. If you bought pre-made replacements, they are designed to go down the back of the block and forward to to each plug. This is MUCH better than the over the valve cover, over the manifold version. YMMV.

If running an HEI the wire to get is a '75 to '79 Corvette small block wire which has HEI boots and the 90's on the plugs to correctly route up to the rams horns manifolds.
