After modding my car, I have not used wire retainers at all.
I did buy a set from summit that bolt to the top of the valve covers, but they were for center bolt valve covers. I removed them after constantly working on the car and they were always a hassle.
I cannot remember the stock set up for the life of me. It is not something you can just drill out?

OK, we're talking apples and oranges here. just realized you have a 95 LT1 car - everything I've done has been with earlier L98 cars.
since I do not have any experience with late model C4's, probably can't help you. sorry....
