Spark plug wire organization?
I’d really like to see what everyone is doing with spark plug wire organization. I’m getting ready to put my new valve covers on and I need to decide on hardware. Iv already purchased some chrome capped bolts but if I decide to get some sort of hold down for the wires, I’ll prob need studs. Please send pictures of what you have!
edit: I just realized my chrome capped bolts are actually studs

I will definitely route the wires correctly I was just wanting to see what everyone was using for wire hold downs. All else fails, I’ll probably just buy the stock plastic clips. I know how to properly zip tie everything but I don’t want to use zip ties if I can buy something to dress up the engine a little bit

Nah, I've done it long before I ever saw an episode. (though I love nearly the whole of the MT shows)
It's one of those just jumps out at you things if you spent your whole working like around electrical harnesses.

With the right system, you get individual coil saturation optimized over a single coil with dwell limitations.
IE, more powerful spark & timing control.

And it looks cool!, no distributor, no plug wires, cleans up the engine bay.

According to you there will still be spark plug wires and now you will also have eight coils. When you’re done it will look similar to an LS, correct?

I'm sure you can google ford 351/302 coil on plug yourself.
This isn't mine, but very similar, mine are mounted on the side of the valve cover, not the top.
