This isn't a very good picture of the wire loom I used to have, but they are anodized blue and mount on the valve cover:



Here are the ball milled wire looms I now:



These are mounted on the block, not the valve covers and match the ball milled ac cover I have now too:

There are a number of wire looms with this design available. I had a set but didn't like covering the valve covers. That's why I switched to block-mounted wire looms. The other choice I tried was the inviditual plastic looms that attached to 3 of 4 valve cover bolts on each side.

What look do you want?

Those are the same wire looms I have. What I like about them is that they don't advertise the fact that Vortec heads have center bolts on the valve covers unlike the rest of the SBC world.

HOWEVER, if you like the wire looms mounted on the Vortec center bolts, then go for it. Check flea bay for center bolt wire looms to see what your options are and then shop around. Maybe a C3 Forum sponsor or two have them too and will chime in with their offerings.

Good looking motor. Where did you get the temp gauge to your water pump?

Thanks.
