I stumbled on this video on how to make spark plug wire looms out of zip ties. It is ingenious. Thought I would share.

I saw that when I was looking for larger GM wire looms to accept the Taylor wire set. It is a smart idea. I ended up going to the Pull-A-Part and getting a handful of looms from other GM vehicles and slightly modified them. Cost me $.75 and they all attached to the engine block clips.

I also use zip ties instead of clinch clamps for the intake tubing at the MAF interface. they fit the grooves perfectly and blend in

That's a great idea although probably don't rip it too tight... the middle wire insulation looks pinched good and hard in ChrisFix' example. Also he could have just used a wire tie to hold together the broken end of the old wire loom and re-used it.
