Spark Plug Wire Retainers with Custom Valve Covers
Does anyone have a recommendation on how to mount spark plug wire retainers on custom valve covers? I would hate to wreck the appearance of the covers, by I also don't want the plug wires to dangle.
Any ideas?

Check these out.. They mount on the side of the cover, and the wires are mounted on top of these looms.. http://store.summitracing.com/defaul...=egnsearch.asp

Combined with cut-to-length wires, they work pretty well.

They also have a version without the bowtie, <$20 less.

The side retainers look very nice.
Did you have to use longer-than-usual spark plug wires to go around the perimeter of the valve cover, or will the stock length wires reach around?
I'd like to use the stock version of the braided SS wires the L36 engine.
Thanks!

I used universal "cut to fit" size and had plenty of length.
The stock size should be plenty long, as they don't have to snake along below the exhast manifolds and back up.
