Spark plug wire separators?
What do you guys use? I want my plug wires to run along the top of my valve cover. Not really having luck finding what I want. Suggestions?
I want to prevent my wires from rubbing anything + crossfire.

zip ties...seriously. saw an awesome trick with zip ties a few years back and ill never buy another set of wire seperators.
they do make wire seperators that bolt to the valve covers too if you want them to look pretty.

Yeap, one big zip tie around them all, snug lightly.
Then between each wire place another zip tie to seperate them.
Slowly tighten them to keep a nice flat fit.
I'd go alittle tighter then the picture shows.

if you tuck the tie part on the bottom, it looks cleaner.

Re: Spark plug wire separators?
I want them on the valve covers so they do not rub against my brake lines or steering column. It's the driver side I care about, too much emissions stuff on the pass. side to bother.

They come with more wire holders ( a 3 and a 1 hole ) but I got the best angle around my headers to the plugs by only using two
Had to find these days ( N/A at Summit ) but SDparts have them listed as available
