spark plug wire routing

[mistaake]

got new plug wires from oreilly auto parts - the cheap generic omnispark ones. hey, they were like half the price of acdelco wires on amazon/rockauto

anyway, they are not universal fit - they are specifically sized for the truck. anyway, i'll post a pic next time i go outside of how it currently is but they are run over valve covers which seems like a bad idea since i'm sure that gets hot, and of course it looks ugly what is the correct way to run them that looks nicer and is better for the wires? i googled chevy 350 spark plug wire routing but there is a lot of people that have headers, tpi, etc so it's all different... thanks!

I ran mine similar to factory using moroso wire separator/holders. Factory ones were broken from age, but generally they are similar. Had to cut and modify the aftermarket ones a bit to fit correctly. Main difference in my setup is I did custom cut to length wires for a better fit.

ok, this is how they are currently run/routed (and yes my valve covers are super leaky lol)... i like the way yours are further away from the valve covers and not going all over the place. do you think i would be able to do that with my omnispark plug wires?

Same should work using factory length wires. Routing is basically the same

This is how I did them on the truck I took apart.

On a 1977 GMC my father in law and I are building for him I Used Taylor SpiroPro universal wires and some Spectre separators-normally Indint care for aftermarket chromed crap but, in this case at least I can route the plug wires in a purposeful manner.
