Valve cover/ plug wire retainers?

My latest project consist of putting a 360 motor in a 64 f100; I'm using 352 valve covers and was wondering if anyone has a resource to find the retaining clips that hold / seperate the plug wires that attach to the top of the valve covers?

B8Q12297A .. Spark Plug Wire Retainers / Push onto brackets that are made as part of the valve covers / Retains 4 wires per side.

These clips fit ALL Passenger Car & Truck V8's, as long as there's a bracket to retain them on the valve cover / AVAILABLE from Ford:

MSRP each: $1.58 // FTE Ford Dealer Parts Dept sponsor PARTSGUYED.COM price each: $1.14.

FYI: BELL-MCCALL FORD COMPANY in Hamilton MT has FOUR = 406-363-2011.

I have one of the President awarded Ford dealership in the country; but ordering parts from anything older than say a 80's model; there lost as bad as last years easter egg!

(ND) Bill; thanks for the post; when Bill W; responsed I've seen where this topic was mention back in 09; and you gents had posted the compaines who stock these clips.
NPD has them for $1.53 apiece on page 154 of there current catalog; will be either placing a short order soon or have a buddy add two sets to his order!
Thanks again;

No. This is the "comb shaped" spark wire retainer used on 351C/351M, 351W, 400 & 460.

302 & FE valve covers have a bracket at upper center. B8Q-12297-A spark plug wire retainer slips onto the bracket.

I am looking for those bolts with the spindle that is in the picture. I have the plastic seperator that fits on the bolt, but I need the bolts. Where can I get them, new or used?
