Locating factory wire retainers(looms)

[TotalChevy1]

I've checked most the the major players and can't seem to locate the wire retainers that bolt in the intake manifold. Has anyone been able to locate them.....

You just need the one on the intake? you have/dont need the ones on the block?
I seen a stock looking engine at the junk yard that might have it.

Those are the ones, I'll have to check a couple of the yards around town, I didn't think about checking there. Thanks

TotalChevy1: Here are a couple of pics of upper intake manifold mounted wire looms. The top row are all left/drivers side looms with both sides shown of each of the 2 different Sbc type's that I have. The three smaller holders on the bottom of pic are for the right/pass. side of intake and are all the same. I noticed in your sig. that you have a 72 C/20 with a SB & Th350, it should have came with power brakes as standard equip. so to be correct I would say you will need to look for the type on the left, top row. It is the same left wire holder in the second picture close up, only this time I sat the th-350 kickdown cable bracket (4 barrel type) as it was bolted down over the wire holder from the factory. The two greasy one's in the bunch were just removed from a 70 Sbc/Th-400 truck and while all were side by side, I compared and noted that none of the th-350 kickdown cable brackets I have fit or set right correctly over the top of this type wire holder (pictured on right, the greasy one), you could make it work/fit with some modification but I would guess this type to originally be for earlier trucks or even manual shifted trucks. Hope that helps, good hunting & make a fun day at the w.yard out of it. Cb

I have the looms on the top left on the drivers side of my truck. I have a bottom one on the passenger side. I do not have a T350 but I do have power brakes and the line runs through the round center hole. I removed them because when I went to HEI the wires would not stay in the plastic clips.
