Default Spark plug wire mounts...??

I am rerouting my plug wires to go under and up between each header..
anyone have any pictures of theirs ? or where they got their looms ?

I was interested in the looms that mount under the engine (not on the valve covers) but am not finding any that I believe fit my idea....

thanks guys...

why not mount on valve cover??

just get a custom accel wire kit and cut your own lengths...

Mine are routed under the header and held together with the plastic separators, no looms. if you keep the wire lengths to a minimum they stay away from the tubes. :smash:

nice engine yellow72......

that is what I am shooting for.......

-I do have headers....ceramic coated.....look like yours...
-I have custom wires...so I can cut to size...
-I want the wires under...I don't care for the wires over the nice covers..

thanks

I have a friend with a built up 383 that has wire "rails" that run the wires along the side of the head and then down to the plugs...is that what you're looking for? :smash:

I've never seen wire looms that run under the headers so you may have to create them like yellow 72 (great looking engine) or go with the wire looms that run above the headers.

Red73---great engine shot. What paint did you use for your intake and water pump. That's a nice combo with the aluminum valve covers and silver carb.

1970 Stingray, that is the natural finish from edelbrock, the aluminum has taken on a gold tint and I'm not sure why. I am thinking about going to a single plane intake over the winter. PS: please let your daughters know that everyone on the forum is coming over instead of family for your turkey dinner.
