...as opposed to on top of the valve covers. i think it would help clean the engine bay up a lot but i'm worried about excessive heat. anyone done it? did you use some kind of sleeving on the wires?

I know that Thermo Tec sells this things to protect the wires. Whitout them i guess whe wires would melt.
But your right that it would clean up the engine bay.

I did on my camaro but I used thermal sleeves on the plugs and header wrap on the headers. Also I used cut to lenthplug wires so I had plenty of lenth to work with. It really does clean the engine up.

I run mine between the headers and the heads.
They're MSD Super Conductors and I used MSD Pro Clamp wire separators. I also cut them to length so they wouldn't burn on the header.

They go from the distributor, down around the back of the cylinder head, and then between the headers and the heads. I routed the wires while the motor was on an engine stand... so that definitely made it ALOT easier to do. Trending Topics
