Question about Spark Plug Wiring
Hello,
I am looking for a picture or a diagram on how the spark plugs wires were routed on a C3 1974 corvette, from the factory. I am not talking firing order, looking for appearance. I am trying to find it on a very detailed level.
With this be found in the factory assembly manual?

Hi GB,
Pete's pictures show it well!
I believe the rear two spark plug wires were run for just a short distance behind the boom-a-rang shield too. I think that's why the upper/rear 'lip' on the shield is cut short.
Regards,
Alan

I'll take your word on that since you are a perfectionist.
Back then there were stations on AM and we needed all that shielding, now only "Rush" is on AM.

There should be another drawing of the engine 'dress' configuration in the '74 AIM. For 1971, it was shown in UPC 6, sheet B6. From that, you should be able to get down to the location of each wire in each wire loom/grommet.
