Default spark plug wire clip...where does it go?

Where does this clip attach? The description say 'oil pan bolt'. It doesnt seem possible. I have the 4 head shields installed along with the front clips that attach to the forward shields. Looking at it all from underneath it doesnt seem like the wires should drop all the way down to the pan.

Does anyone have pics from the bottom of the wire routing? Looking at the AIM it appears they run straight back versus dropping down to the pan.




Thanks, Jim

I have no idea what purpose this clip serves, but here it is on my 71'
I attached a couple other photos to answer your other post too. Hope it helps.

Duke94, on mine(I just changed oil pan gaskets on 2 of mine) in your top pic the clip goes one more bolt to the left. Next to the hump. On both sides they were right at the bottom of the "V" shields.

Default Location for Spark Plug wire clips on Oil Pan?

Old Post. Still relevant!!

Anyone have a photo or know where to install the TWO wire clips?

Also does each clip hold two wires?

Thanks

Just found a link with the photos. Pasting for the next visitor to this thread

Hi TE,
Once the 'boomerang' heat shields are installed most of the clip is hidden.
Just the part under the oil pan bolt remains visible.
Each clip holds the 2 foreward wires on each side.
Regards,
Alan
