I don't have any pictures at this time to show, so I hope my description is good enough.

On my small block. I custom cut each wire. Running from the spark plug along side the valve cover to the distributor, I keep the wires down low and wrap the around the back of the valve cover under all the carb linkages. Then up to the cap.

Moroso wire looms and brackets hold them in place. 2 of the brackets are used in the center valve cover bolt. The wire loom clip on are both 2 wire. At the rear of the cover, I use one 4 wire loom on a bracket.

The wires furthest from the distributor are routed up top. Wires closest to the distributor are in the free floating looms.

Done in this manor, it keeps the top of the engine and valve covers free and clear to be viewed for a clean naked look.

my biggest area of concern is the rear two on drivers side. in the past ive used 90 degree ones there but the others were straight. im getting new wires and not sure which style to get the headers are new ttis my old ones were the kind that went around the centerlink so i know this affects the style i get

Here is my 340 with TTI headers, using the stock guides and only had to widen them a bit to handle the 8 mm wires.

I have since switched to 90*s on the distributor end

dvw what kind of wire looms are you using that looks like what im looking for thanks,jeff

They are Moroso. There are 2 stacked on the center valve cover bolt. I put a pop rivet though them to keep them together.

Here's mine

Bing bing bing, that's how I do it! At the rear of the valve cover, I used one just like the two center holders with a 4 wire loom slightly bent upwards.

Thats a good set. there are a couple variations I've used over the years, the nice thing is you can keep the wires tight to the valve covers and still protect them.
