    The Ford Y block engine has the neatest system for routing plug wires.
    You should check them out, maybe you could adapt the idea to your SBC.
     
  4. May as well show what i did on mine. I also put two P clips on the pan each side to hold the front wires tidy and out of harms way. JW

    Interesting you should post this pic Larry. Just yesterday I was perusing these wire holders and I think I'll order a set.

  7. Wireless sender and receivers on 8 different frequencies needs to get invented so no wires are required.

    Generally I think the wires look best when they are routed behind the heads and are below the exhaust and turn upward at the plugs. For some reason when the wires are routed high .......even if they are not over the valve covers, it seems to detract from the engine and whatever intake system it has. An engine that has too much "clutter" never seems to look as good (IMHO) as one where things are simpler with all the attaching things hidden or at least not prominent.
