Looking for “best” way to lace the plug wires to cap on my 440. Send pics.

If it helps:
70 B-Body
Headers
No a/c
Electronic Distributor
8MM MSD Street Fire wires

Lay them underneath and come up from the bottom.

Excellent. Appreciate the pics of the dizzy lacing. Way cleaner than what I have now. My wires have two straight boots that are in the mix, so I have to figure that out.

Also, with the engine not in the car yet, I had concern about how tight I had to keep the wire to the engine. The wires to shock tower pics help a ton.

I zip tie them together and run them down below the headers

Mine are similar both on my Sixpack and on my Hemi.

if the engine is out and on the stand i put the headers on and fab wires with looms/brackets in place. easier than in-car fab job. i don't buy pre-made wires; i make them.

The routing depends on the header design, as much as anything. These are TTI 2", FWIW.

Even though L&R side are mirror image, I run them differently on the passenger side because of the distributor location and less access to get to #2 & #4 from over the top.

Where are you fellas buying your wire holders? I have Firecore 8mm wires...(I think they are 8mm)...

Re: Show me your RB plug wire lacing - 05/24/22 04:57 PM

i use factory brackets when possible. a little tight for 8.5mm wire but ok for 8mm. i use a little silicone spray to pop the 8.5's in the brackets. i also use the old mopar performance black plastic separators but be careful with them on 8.5mm wire. i don't like msd plug boots but their connectors are ok. i use mostly taylor connectors and plug/distributor boots.

Surprised to see this one. Years ago the ignition industry was saying not to let wires touch and if you did to make it at a 90 degree angle to reduce chances of a cross fire. Especially 5 and 7.

Mine are MSD separators, which fit the MSD 8.5 mm wires "just right". Not sure if they'd be loose on an 8 mm, though...

Thanks Brad! I have some MSD 8.5 separators...They are too loose for the firecores...

Wonder if some Plasti-Dip on 8.5 mm separators would work well for 8 mm wires ?

I make mine out of zip ties. One tie wrapped loosely around all 4 wires. Then a small tie compresses the large looped tie in between each wire. Zoom in on the pic of my wires in the earlier post.
