Default Wire Looms?
Lucky for me I dont post pics yet because if you saw my plugs and wires that I took off this weekend the Vette police would take me away!

Found three loose plugs, two burned wires, and a plug boot missing a connector. She was running pretty good for a 3.5 cylinder!! (maybe it was 2?)

This brings me to my question: Anyone have any recommendations for wire loom kits they have used? I plan to go next to or over the rocker covers as the underneath just did not work out.

Thanks

Here are some links to some nice looms, I have seen some that hug the side of the valve cover, but only on Big Blocks. The last link is for fibergalss wire boots, good wires are to much to burn up on headers...

I use these and really like them for keeping the wires organized. Will bolt to you valve cover.

Thanks Audie

I looked at Summit but not Jegs. :o

I like the "blue" Proform ones best!

Anyone have pics of some in the car?

This is the type I wanted and seen on Big Blocks. The BBs have 3 bolt holes, won't work as well on small blocks and not at all with center bolt type. I went with the side mount type, theywork really well and don't look bad.

Anyone know the benefits of running your wires underneath the headers rather than over top along side the heads?

I used these with the aluminum brackets. They run along the edge rather than in the center of the cover.
