Zip tie the wires. Have you looked into buying Thunder Racings Over the Valve Cover wire kit?

Here's a couple of pics I have of my Thunder Racing kit I sold last week

The only thing some people hate about the OTVC kit is measuring, cutting, and crimping.

I found the wire measurements over at Camaroz28.com, so it was easy for me.
