I noticed everyone keeps stating vette wires. Isn't this the way they were ran from the factory on our trucks? Only asking that it wasn't a corvette only thing? Or saying that to get the correct length?

Well that helps out alot. Mine on the truck now are way long too long. so I guess I will get some for a vette.

That doesn't make sense...

I don't remember which set of Taylor wires I ordered (may have been corvette or may not have been). BUT I do remember that they were one of the longest custom sets available. ie.....the longest set you could buy with the ends already attached should work pretty well.

Here is the chart with the length of each wire. Note that some are coil and some are HEI, so be sure to double check before ordering. I ordered mine off of Amazon after getting the number from the Taylor website.

These ones from Classic Parts of America appear to be correct:

4-wire holders for bellhousing area of block: http://www.classicparts.com/1958-69-...ctinfo/83-386/

2-wire holders (these attach using the same bolts that hold the heat shields) http://www.classicparts.com/1958-72-...ctinfo/83-387/

And if you don't already have them, these are the head shields that were used with the rams horn manifolds: http://www.classicparts.com/1957-72-...ctinfo/83-389/

The original spark plug wire routing also used a couple of these clips (one on each side) to hold the wires down near the oil pan rail. They attach using the existing oil pan bolts: http://www.classicparts.com/1958-72-...ctinfo/83-388/


There were also a couple of 4-wire holders that attached to the engine using the rear corner intake manifold bolts. I don't think I've ever seen a reproduction of the driver side one. But there is a reproduction of the somewhat similar looking holder used on some cars ... it attaches to a valve cover bolt instead and looks like this: http://www.parts123.com/parts123/yb....2a~Z5Z5Z5AAGRQ

On the passenger side, this style of bracket was used with manual transmissions:http://www.parts123.com/parts123/yb....5AAHNM~Z5Z5Z53
I think automatics had the pass side plug wire holder spot welded to the dipstick tube (at least cars did anyway ... not sure about trucks).
