Default New prototype spark plug wire looms installed

I had mentioned that we have made some prototype wire looms for spark plugs, and when I posted this picture on another thread, it reminded me of it.

They work well for keeping the wires off the tubes on the long tube style headers.

Most looms go 4:3:2:1 stepping down

For most long tube headers you would need 4:2:2:2

These are all stainless, using modified Made-4-You nylon retainers.

I'll have to take another look, but I think those would push my wires directly into the AIR tubes on my hooker 2149s.

That's a nice setup for your centerbolt guys. I've got perimeter-bolt heads on my IROC, but I used a similar 4-2 combination with a Made-4-u loom kit. If I wind up with centerbolt heads in the future, I might need to keep your setup in mind. ;)

My Hooler 2151's would block some of the bolt holes into the head.

My Hooker 2149's block the bolt holes closest to the ends of the block. It should work with just 1 bolt however,
