WTB - OEM plug wire retainers - still looking - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

69 air cab · 02-08-2004, 04:15 PM

I'm still looking for a good set of OEM spark plug wire retainers which includes two small retainers which attach at the plug wire heat shields, two that attach at the rear of the block, and two that attach on the intake near the distributor.
ANYBODY OUT THERE GO UM?

724x4a/cchevy · 02-08-2004, 06:03 PM

If anyone has two sets, i need one too.

69 air cab · 02-08-2004, 06:15 PM

rage'nrat638, I really appreciate you trying but that's not them.
The ones that go on the back of the block are 4 grove and kind of flat. Thanks for trying.

72MARIO · 02-08-2004, 07:57 PM

I found the old ones off of my motor. I am not sure if I have all of the part's. They are not the same as thoes. But they did mount on the back of the block. And they are ORIGINAL. Have any pics of what your looking for ?

69 air cab · 02-08-2004, 10:01 PM

yes 70 CST 4X4, that is two of the 6 pieces. Pls pm me with price.
Anyone else, if you have a 67-72 Chevy/GMC assembly manual there is a pic of the retainers about a fifth of the way from the front of the book......book has not page numbers. 72MARIO, pls send pics or pm me.
thanks

71Rat · 02-09-2004, 02:19 AM

i think i have a couple of those pieces laying around my garage.... if anyone wants them, you pay shipping and you got them..... i am not 100% sure if i have them still, i can check in a few weeks when i go home

69 air cab · 02-09-2004, 07:42 PM

I am the one wanting them. Do you have pics?

Blue Beard · 02-09-2004, 10:39 PM

Those run the wires under the exhaust manifold, correct?

MrGoodpliers · 02-09-2004, 10:42 PM

Geez, man I saw this post last week and thought for sure somebody would hook you up quick... The "let George do it" syndrome. Sorry bout that. Are these what you're looking for? I think the one on the far left is from something later model, but I'll send it along.

69 air cab · 02-09-2004, 10:42 PM

Yes Blue Beard........you are correct.

69 air cab · 02-09-2004, 10:45 PM

Mrgood pliers.......the two on either outside look correct. pls pm a price.
thanks

69 air cab · 02-09-2004, 11:11 PM

ok guys......keep looking. MrGoodpliers and 70CST 4x4 found some.......in fact I think MrGoodpliers (no sure if he's kin to MrGoodwrench) may have found his leaf blower in his garage while looking. I hope I can get a few sets to make one good one. Don't forgot there are two small pieces the size of a 50 cent piece with one hole to attach in the same hole as the heat sheilds that holds two plug wires. Ain't this fun!!!

69 air cab · 02-12-2004, 09:54 PM

Anyone else have any stashed away that you don't need? Still looking for a complete set.
Thanks

JimKshortstep4x4 · 02-12-2004, 10:52 PM

I believe that I have the correct ones. Two are small 90 degrees that bolt either on the spark plug shields or on the engine block below the head the other four are like the ones pictured. (Two on the back of the block two bolted to the manifold). If you don't get a set, I will post a picture on Saturday to make sure it is what you are looking for.

Jim

69 air cab · 02-12-2004, 11:09 PM

Thanks Jim, That sounds like the right ones. I look forward to the pic.

Shane's Parts · 02-12-2004, 11:20 PM

69 air cab, I got over to the salvage yard today and someone beat me to the plastic pieces that go on top of the ones which are bolted onto the intake manifold. However I went ahead and took off the brackets. also have the 2 which bolt on the back side of the block, next to the trans. And I have the 2 small ones that bolt onto the heatshield. Like I said I just picked them up at the yard today, so they still need to be cleaned up. Will post pics of them tomorrow, sorry for the dealy.. Shane

JimKshortstep4x4 · 02-13-2004, 09:20 AM

Heres a photo of 3 types of small block plug wire retainers we carry though we haven't had a chance to list these online yet.

The top one mounts at rear of block, bottom left is the one used along oil pan, and bottom right was used on side of motor.
We also carry the plastic clips that attach to the ends of the later model wire retainers metal brackets shown in pictures above by other board members that also include the individual plastic wire seperators that did not clip onto metal brackets but attached to plug wires only.
