Default Spark plug wire routing

I currently have an OTVC kit that uses the valve cover bolts to hold the looms. I really want to run composite vette valve covers but I can't with my current wire setup.

Does anyone have any pics of plug wires mounted in an other than stock location that doesn't use the valve cover bolts?

You might be able to work something out with an elaborate pattern of zip ties?

I ran the MSD 8.8 from underneath, can't even see them. Zip ties worked great.

I have basically this same setup but with the LT4 composite valve covers. The aluminum brackets part 50-82494 appear to work with the stock valve covers BUT they did not work for me with the LT4's, wasn't enough clearance. I had to do some modifications to make it work. It was a PITA but it works.

Agree with StelathFormla
I had them on with composite valve covers too. I just fabricated four spacers to use between the brackets and heads and used longer bolts.

How thick did the spacers need to be?
