Default Spark Plug wire routing

I'm installing a new spark plug wiring kit on my '74 SB but there are some brackets missing and I've problems to find some pics which explain the correct routing.
Can anyone help me uploading some pics???

I'm sure some of the vendors have wire layouts and corresponding brackets. Try the following for starters:

I'm running headers, so the routing is a bit different. Mine is a '74 also and it came with all the original brackets.



Since the photo was taken, the POS Holley Street Avenger has been replaced as was the intake.

Not to Hijack the thread, but what did you replace the POS SA with?

I replaced it with a Holley 650 Part Number 0-80783C. I had tuning problems with the SA. If you've read some of Lars comments regarding SA's, they are notorious for being jetted very lean. I "played" around with the SA for about a year, then decided to replace it. Have been very happy with the "Universal 650".

Here you go.....you do not have to unbolt the motor mounts to install the wires. Lub up the distributor boots real good and slip them off. After running the wires slip te boots back on...

Starting up top...




Down under....The front 2 wires on each side fit into little clips on the oil pan.
