Pictures of Over the Valve Cover Wire Jobs on LT1?

[Timbers]

Can some of you guys that have routed your spark plug wires over your valve covers post pictures of your setups? I purchased the Thunder Racing setup and have laid out the wires the best way I can think of putting them. Before cutting them and crimping ends on I would like to compare to others setups.

The passenger side routing is tough because the alternator is in the way, I almost have to run the spark plug wires right on the alternator.

I can't see the pics, or is it just me?

Cool thanks!

If you don't want that 'bundle' of plug wires is to tie a zip tie around each wire, and bind each loop together with another zip tie. The small ones work best for this, and after they're trimmed down it's hardly noticeable.

I went to ixquick and did a search for a better explanation and pics... I guess the ricer guys figured this out too...

thats been an old trick for years, i learned bout that when i was 16 after i got my frist t/a back on the road after rebuilding the top end. i think it much better then wire holders as you can set how tight they are in there

hah

Wow look at that ricer, I bet you could change the plug wires in 10 minutes!!! I just spent about 40 hours changing mine to over the valve cover.

Really scarey, I had to crimp all of the ends, measure the wires, route them, plus I plug sleeving over all the wires, and boots. About 50 hours into the project, all to go and turn the key and pray the thing starts.

Started great, and I believe it actually runs much better now too. I've been watching for sparks leaping out of my wires and so far I haven't seen any.

I hope you're not calling me a ricer lol... with that civic winterbeater and all lol.

That ricer wire loom looks good but isn't that motor supposed to have a cover over the plugs anyway?

[SteveH95Formula]

I'm not sure what 'cover' you are refering to but some plugs have a little heat shield towards the back. Most plugs don't if I remember right. Although the wires are routed by the block that has some type of shield or just loops for the wires. I can't remember. My wires a re stock I'll have to look.

I meant the ricer car in the link above... Here is the pic.

There is supposed to be a cover over the top of the valve cover/plug wires between the cams. The install on the LT1 looks great.
