78 L48 Plug Wiring Question
Hello,
Could someone share a picture of what retainers hold the plug wires in place on a 1978 L48? Specifically, after the wires exit the rubber retainers at the rear of the block and circle around under the manifold I think there are some sort of plastic tabs that are mounted on small braces that hold the two rear wires shortly before they connect to the spark plug.
Any help is appreciated!

Go to ZIP site and look at PN IS-231 I believe that's the one.

The REAR 2 sparkplug wires on both sides go directly to the sparkplugs after leaving the 4 wire loom attached to the rear of the motor. Pretty much coming in from the rear.
The FRONT 2 plug wires do attach to a 2 wire clip bolted to the block below the plugs. Front wires come in from below. There's also the V shaped shield for the fronts.
Here's a pic of the clip you're thinking of on the fronts. Cropped it out of another pic.
