Survivor TPI people, need a few pictures
I am looking for pictures of how the spark plug wires are routed from the factory for 1987 TPI. my wires are a mess now and have been burned a few times as they are routed wrong, I'd like some pictures of how it goes from the factory so before I ruin another set of wires this would be helpful and give me an idea of what wire guides I need to purchase first.
thanks in advance

Not really, my manifolds are different, would melt the plug wire in a minute routed the way it shows there.

See if you can find some pix from Jaguars that Run's TPI swapping book. Great pictures of engine out of car. Driver's side wires were routed from underneath exhaust manifold and passenger side over.

I saw this beautiful 6k mile 1LE at a car show and specifically took pics of the ignition wire routing. This thing was an unadulterated gem, I'm certain the wires hadn't even been touched since it left the factory:

Wow. Thats clean. This is a Players Camaro with RPO R7U, based on the yellow paint seen on the bolts on the valve covers, throttle body, runners, and thermastat housing. Was this car at the Camaro Nationals show in St, Catharines?

Re: Survivor TPI people, need a few pictures
These are from about 88 or 89 I think but the routing should be close to the same.

Re: Survivor TPI people, need a few pictures
I'm a fan of routing the driver's side wires against the block on the driver's side (under the exhaust manifold exit, rather than over like those pics. It needs some effort to make sure they're secure to be away from the heat, but I've had the best luck with avoiding burnt wires with that routing.
