Since you have center-bolt VCs and headers I suggest Made For You looms from Summit.

You may need to bore them out a little for 8.8mm wires but they look great and will keep the wires neat.

Just run the wires through the looms, along the VCs and drop them down to each plug.

I like the factory wire looms (Packard) too. You can order them from Mid-America Motorworks (MAM). I don't know if the dealer's still carry them or not.

Most any of the good wire loom set ups work equally well. I am partial to Made For You products also, they are well built and look good. Here is a pic of mine on my '85.

I'm looking at the MSD wire separators at Jegs. They look simple, yet effective. I probably need some because right now I dont have any kind of loom/separators going on. I think the factory set up sucked.

I bought a set of billet beautys for my car. They were for the center bolt covers. I sent them back to Ecklers, as they said, "they were for a vette". Everything was in the way. Evaporator cover, windshield wiper motor, and etc... If you take a close look at Repzard set up, you can see how close the plug wires are to the header. They will harden, and crack. I've been down the road on this. I'm with AGENT 86 on this one. Whats nice about the stockers, is you don't see wires all over the place, and you can work on the engine without removal of the wires, for most things.

They were from summit racing, center bolt style, no interfer with headers and for 8.5 wires. No problems with installation.
