Default Spark Plug Wire Routing?


I have a 76 corvette with th L48 350.

Bubba rebuilt my engine and installed the incorrect wires. I returned the car to have the wires replaced (among other repairs) and when I picked up the car, I found that Bubba had re-located the metal wire covers that route the wires to plugs 1-4.

I know that the wires are supposed to be routed from the distributor, down through the engine mounts and then up top the plugs under the exhaust manifold. I am not sure where the metal covers for the wires should be mounted. Are there any photos available of the correct spark plug wire routing?

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

thanks

Thanks for the link.

Does anyone else have photos or a description of how to route the plug wires. The diagrams are not quite detailled enough. I need to know where the bolts that secure the shield attach and how the shield is positioned.

I realize that this requires a photo of the engine from below and at a strange angle (or out of the car).

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
