Default Plug wire shields

I have a 1974 350 L-82 I've had for over 30 years. Many years ago I removed the lower chrome shields that go over the wires and spark plugs and never put them back. Now I have made many improvements to the car and would like to put them back on. The cover over the distributor and the two attached to that are still on, but I forgot how the ones on the exhaust manifold go on and I lost the original wing nuts that attach them. Does anyone have a photo of how they go on the car and also does anyone know where I can get the wing nuts.

wing nuts can be had at any Vette parts supplier, tabs are needed to attach them to, maybe get an assembly manual

I did a refresh on my '71 LT-1 last year and I took several photos as it came apart and went back together. Send me an e-mail address via PM and I will send you some photos.

The assembly instruction manual (AIM) shows the installation of the shielding; all the little brackets, bolts, wing nuts, etc..
