Spark plug wires management - simple aftermarket solution?

[AuroraGirl]

I am doing my tune up soon, and I am buying new wires. my current ones are a clusterfuck and everything about their management was left to length, get out of my way, or stop touching that manifold. Thus, not very nice.
I dont want to use the OEM clips that would have gone on these valve covers(they broke when i did tune up long ago) since i plan on changing valve covers.
I see a lot online that require allen wrenches or have complicated bracketing to look nice, but frankly I want to go a step above zip tie for easy of removal(push in, pull out), but it doesnt need to be for looks or style, so a step below perfectly routing parrel, routed with the exact length, etc. Just needs to work.

Also, if anyone has examples of any id like to see how yall do it. Im going to try to keep them away from manifolds, and I am confident that wont be too hard

There is no need for anything other than zip ties, you've only done it wrong.

Besides, dont you have your own personal junkyard? No offense intended but damn, you'd think at least one of the other 400 cars you own would have something you could use..

Just sayin?

You got three minutes.
yay learning!

Back when Roadkill was this beautiful thing that didn’t alienate 50% of its audience with a paywall, I learned about the zip tie method. Chrisfix is an excellent channel, but you’ll see below Mike Finnegan doing it, one of two guys that really amplified my interest in this peculiar hobby.

There's a lot of visual-spatial talent involved in doing a clean and presentable job on this.

I used a set of Moroso standoffs to organize the wiring on the 455 on my Ninety-Eight. It was a pair of standoffs that held four wires each that I was able to use to keep them organized and off the manifolds and valve covers etc.

If I remember, next week I'll try to pop the hood and post a pic if there's anything left of it.

Thats funny though. They look cool!
Gotta find some way to cover all the plastic and try to make it look cool,-ish, I guess.

All clips are brittle and break and I'd just assume not bother. I guess zip ties would work ok, would prefer they snap in, but it's cheap and abundant around here. I might consider that. I'll pick up some normal short ones so I'm not cutting off a lot of my curent ones

I like to make things look nice, so I used a set of Moroso wire holders on my 76, they work alright. I flipped two of them so that the holders are all going in the same direction, the way they show is having them facing each other. This is an old picture but is still the same, although I do have a new set of black Taylor wires that at some point I'll make up for it.

If you have a good bit of just use what you have. There cheap enough. Bit of you have to buy more. HF, eBay or Amazon. Even wallmart can be pricy for zip ties.

Id be cautious on HF zip ties around heat, ive noticed over time their zip ties tend to weaken and get brittle quicker, id imagine near exhaust manifolds and engine operating temps that cycling would be short. But its also not like its holding the space shuttle.
