Is it ok to possibly lay the plug wires up close to or possibly touching the shock tower? These are MSD's 8.5mm super conductors that I'm stringing up.

Routing of spark plug wires

It will work but it will rub the paint off. I doubt it will be a running problem since the car will not see the street but twice a year or so.....

Note to self:
Re-route spark plug wires to look as nice as Craigs.
In a perfect world the plug wires wouldn't be touching anything along their routing, but they should be okay.

Actually the loom kit comes with the vertical holders that do infact fasten to the valve covers but I didn't like the routing to close to the valve covers, or I think so anyways. Need to look at this again.

Craig, that's how I have mine running and I've not had a problem in 5 years. It's much easier to remove the valve covers with the wires not fastened to or running over the VCs.

yea, but its not a big deal to get to them with the seperator on there. infact, it keeps the wires weighed down and out of the way when they are off. At least in my case they do.
Craig, i didnt like the way mine held the wires either, I actually modified mine by bending it 90 degrees to a more desierable location. Just a thought.

I have some aluminum wire looms that work well but they are a pain to remove.
I already posted this pic but here it the final product......for now. Rick I had planned to use the Taylor looms in a vertical position on the valve cover (actually have all the parts) but felt while the motor has yet to be fired up, and possibly having to get into the valve covers, I didn't want to deal with the wires.

Craig, whats the P/N on your dizzy? I'd like to find a black distributor cap for mine.
Rick,
dizzy: MSD-8577
cap: MSD-84313
The dizzy came with the typical red cap so I had to buy the black cap in addition.

What type of paint did you use? I have a spare, I suppose I could give it a go.
