3 items for dress up.

[rmorman]

Good evening folks!
I'm contimplating a couple of small items to dress up the car a bit. My Accel plug wires came with plastic seperators. Not very dressy. I was wondering what you guys have chosen for dressing up/organizing your plug wires. Mr Gasket has some seperators, Summitt Racing has some from R&M Specialities and I'm sure GM Performance has some as well. I'm looking to stay between $50-$100 if at all possible.

Secondly, I'm also looking for a "slightly dressed up" power steering pump. While I got the engine out, I figure I'll replace the old stock leaky one.

Lastly, what about braided covers for the hoses? That seems like a good bang for the buck in dressing up the engine compartment.

The engine is an old school carbureted383 small block. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Russ

I recommend the wire looms from R&M specialties. That's the ones I have, but mine are for centerbolt valve covers. As far as the power-steering pump, replace it with a stock one and put a polished or chrome pulley on it. Also repaint the bracket. Me personally, those braided hose covers are a PITA to say the least. Check out the cool fle type hoses. Good Luck with it.

There are some pretty nice throttle cable brackets for aftermarket carbs. Also they make really nice inlet lines for double inlet carbs. On my 6.0 I bought the black anodized fittings and nylon braided line, I'll never go back to SS braided line 8) .

If you are looking at plug wire retainers, Billet Specialties has some really cool ones. However, if you are using the pre-made wires, they will mostly fit like garbage on any wire retainer.

Most of the braided hose covers i've seen look like crap. But then again i see them also done nicely. The flex hoses do look cool too but the ones i like are the stainless steel tubing ones with the hose ends.
