1965 - Spark Plug Wire Support
I don't have supports on any of my spark plug wires.
Searching didn't help.
does anyone know of a "kit" that includes everything i need. Or piece one together:

Any pictures of a proper engine compartment would also help.
TIA

Excellent pics. I'm at this stage myself on my 65 FI Coupe, should have the engine back from the shop early next week so this was good timing for me as well. Hope to get my 4 speed mated and the engine/tranny dropped in before paint goes on in about 2 weeks. Getting closer by the day!

I found the kit:

It's sad that a single piece of this wasn't left on my car when I got her.

Sorry, but those were not my pictures. I only made the comment that I only run my dist. cover and the two vertical wire coverings. Anything more is just WAY TOO MUCH for me to dick around with. I have used exhaust manifold paints but without much success once the engine is fired up and it gets up to operating temp.

I purchased all the wire supports, but I'm having slight difficulty installing them.
Specifically, I can't get these bolts out. They are really tight and I don't want to break them or Eff up the threads. i've hit them with PB blast over the past 2 days...
Any other suggestions? They look important.

Try using a 6 point socket on it to loosen it, if you haven't already. It will minimize the chances of rounding the head.
