C4 Spark plug wire retainers

Anyone know where I can get the entire factory setup?

I'm running an L98 Corvette ignition system and want to run the wires as such. I'm talking all of the correct brackets and separators that attach to the head, manifold, etc...

Thanks

I just purchased a complete set two weeks ago from Superior Chev, Chris May (800-728-8267).

I picked mine up for my '85 at my local chevy dealer (they were in stock!). Here are the part#'s: GM#12043550 (this is the gray retainer that holds 4 wires) and GM#12043158 (this is the black retainer that hold the 2 wires that come from the spark plugs). Enjoy!

Thanks. I guess I'm a little ignorant about how the Vettes have their wires routed, but do these part numbers have all the necessary brackets/bolts to go along with the wire separators?

The part numbers are for the wire looms only. I don't know if the dealership will have the metal brackets that the looms attach to. I don't remember seeing them in the computer. It's worth a look though. Good luck!

www.madvet.com will have the retainers that attach to the brackets. I don't remember the price off hand though but it wasn't too expensive.

Thanks. Though, these guys only have the separators themselves- seems that's all anyone has. But whatver GM used to attach the separators to the engine, no one seems to have. I'll have to figure something out on my own.
