Default Plug Wires - Help me untangle these!

As the title says, anyone have a good way to hide/organize these?

I like the Crossfire distributor caps because they put the plug wires on the same side as the cylinder they go to. Then find a loom that runs the wires along the valve cover. This is an example of a center bolt valve cover loom, but you can find all kinds that work for the perimeter bolt valve covers.

Yep, clean that puppy right up. we-ill get them out of sight. .

fortunately you have 90 degree sparkplug boots and the wires look adequate as to length.

Run your plug wires underneath the manifolds {headers} to the rear of the engine and up the back along the bellhousing to the distributor. It will clean that mess you have right up and present a well organized engine with wiring that is out of sight and out of mind. This works for small blocks or big blocks.
