77 ignition shielding pics needed
Just finishing a rebuild on my 77 SB. Decided to put the ignition shielding on since it was missing. Car did come with radio. Am i correct that only the rear spark plugs had shields? What I really need is a pic from both sides of engine showing how ignition shields are installed. assembly manual does not show any ignition shielding but does show 4 spark plug shields.. Thanks for the help.

Not much help. Shielding consist of: top dist. cover, two blue painted riser brackets bolted to intake bolts with rubber plug wire holders that insert into risers, two down shields that attach to the risers and the rear plug shields, two rear plug shields that require four small brackets, two plug wire holders that bolt on the rear of engine by transmission bolts also have rubber plug wire holders, two "V" shields that route four front plug wires alongside the engine block. Four front plug wires do indeed pass between engine block and motor mounts. My car came with 1/4" headed bolts to hold it together. Some cars had the classic wing headed screw. In the AIM, the ignition shielding is illustrated on pages, Bo1 to B12 sheet 35. This is in the very front section marked Body. mike...

Hi ss,
Here are a couple pictures of the lower 71 ignition shielding used when a radio was installed.
They're 71 pieces but should be quite similar to your 77 shielding. In each case the rear of the shield joins the bottom of the vertical shield on each side.
Hope this helps a bit!
Regards,
Alan

Just the two on the rear. There is also a two plug wire clip on both sides for the front plugs. In the AIM illustration on sheet 36, the dist. cover is not like any I have seen on a '77. mike...
