Can I see Some Pics?Engine-plug wire set ups
Hey everyone,
Would like to see some more engine pics and how you routed your wires and what clips,retainers and such you used.Would also like to see some "Made for you" plug wire brackets on the valve covers too.Emphasis is plug wires routing here.
If you can post some pics of some of these,please do.just want to get some ideas of nice clean installs.If you cant post them but have them in email,please send them to me if youd like to.Email is in sig too.
Thanks!
:)

No pics available here but just put two 4-wire looms on the bolts closest to the dist and drop down two wires between 5&7 and 6&8, run the other two wires forward to 2-wire looms where you drop those two wires down between 1&3 and 2&4.
Use a copla 4-wire looms on either side back by the dist to keep things orderly.
This makes for a very neat & orderly look to the wiring, even with the large MSD 8.5mm SuperConductor wires.

Most of the catalogs, like Summit. JEGs, etc. show photos of the installed wires setup. You can order their catalogs online and are free.

Re: Can I see Some Pics?Engine-plug wire set ups (superlund)
Thanks for the ideas guys...and btw super,nice engine !!!!!!!That looks like the LS1 retrofit coil set up and thats fantastic.Cant use it though,i got the old L98!!
:)
Ive seen many catalog pics and such but I really wanted to see more about what the C4 guys have done to make it nice there.Ive been in the process of "cleaning up" around the engine bay getting rid of useless junk I didnt want or needed and looking to see which wins my Idea of a nice clean install.
I already have an idea what im going to do but want to see more C4 engine pics before i go ahead and finish up under the hood.
Thanks again for the replies everyone!!
Jake,Ill be in touch via emal soon...got to see what you think about my paint project.
:cheers:

Thanks for the description...I had done something simialr with my other wires I had before.Im going to use my new in the box TPIS black wires adn i have a bunch of looms for them if needed.Im still wanting to see more pics though.I know there isnt much more ways to route wires but want something that looks cool under there as well.

I run the TPIS wires on the Vette too and used new stock looms with stock routing, but they should work well with your new looms too.

I like the way I had mine. Loved it when you had to remove the plugs. Once they are on the holder, just unbolt it and unplug the wires and lift them all out as one unit. No messing with readjustments etc. Just snap them back on.
