Default Spark Plug Wire Routing

On my 64/365HP I am running new plug wires I have the oil pan clips . On plugs 2+4 Do you run those wires behind the starter? The AIM does not show me the starter at all Thanks Guys

Yes, they do go behind the starter, inside the lower "boomerang" shield; see photo below.

All radio-equipped cars had them on both sides, along with the rest of the horizontal, rear vertical, and top distributor shields; you'll see them all in the U69 section of your assembly manual.
