Spark plug wire holders with C/bolt heads?
What are you guys using to support / route your plug wires with aftermarket centerbolt heads that don't have provision for the stock wire holders; especially with thick wires?
New MSD setup is blowing out through my old stock wires and don't want to burn up my nice new Accel 300+ 8.8mm set

Re: Spark plug wire holders with C/bolt heads?
That's a very good question. Not much is said about that topic. Too many times it's: "stick the plug wires on it and let's take it for a test drive". They never get finished up.
I'm not running center bolt V/Cs but THESE are the only ones I see that I like. Lots of places to snap the wires in = good.
They have them in diferent colors besides blue.

Its where to mount them that's the problem.Only solution I see is to replace a couple of valve cover hold down bolts with studs so I have a fixing point ?

They should just take the place of the flat washer under the bolt head. You may need to go with a little longer bolt...
