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?

 

a search found this from Bill aka (ND)

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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
B6A12297A .. Spark Plug Wire Retainers / Retains 4 wires / These can be used anywhere on the wires, can be split into two separate parts / AVAILABLE from Ford:

MSRP each: $1.32 // PARTSGUYED.COM price each: $0.95.

Thanks Bill; for the fast response; every set of plug wires in the salavage yard I run across; these seem to not be present!

 

As far as I know, they can still be had at your local FLM dealer...

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;

 

Do they look like this?

 

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'm looking for the ones in the photos, do you have the number it these?
(man, your good, it is from my 1884 351W)

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?
