Hi,
 
I have the standard exhaust manifolds on my 77 Vette since I do not want to swap them out for headers.
 
I would love to know if anyone here can recommend some nice wire looms for my set up that would allow me to run my spark plug wires in a neat and clean way.
 
I bought a pair of wire looms not realizing that they were meant for headers. They won't clear my OEM exhaust manifolds.
 
Thanx,
Anni and her Demon!

Hey - I just put headers on mine and am looking for some wire looms. What brand / style are they. Maybe I can purchase them from you.

Thanks for the link. This is exactly what I am looking for. Anni - if this is what you have and they won't work with your manifolds, I would definately be interested. Let me know.

Curtis 79,

I just found the receipt for the looms. they are from Summit Racing #RNM-1101B  Wire Looms for a SBC in blue.

Right now we are only using the brackets from the kit to keep the spark plug wires together and away from the exhaust manifold. I found another set from Summit that I hope will work with my car and they should arrive sometime today I'm hoping. If these new ones will work then I will remove the other brackets and you are more then welcome to buy the blue looms from me.

I will keep in touch!

Anni

I actually modified my Billet Specialties looms to move them a little more to the firewall. I had to redrill them and take away some of the aluminum at the firewall near the power brake booster. After I removed what I needed, I repolished the area's that I modified.

Curtis 79,
 
We were able to make the original ones that I had work! So unfortunately I do not have any for sale since I sent the second pair back for a full refund. Sorry that I could not help you out.
