I am installing stock length plug wires on my '84 Elco and intend to run them in the stock location..... I need to find the correct plug wire bracket (retainer) that keeps the wires away from the stock exhaust manifold on the driver's side. The car did not have this retainer when I bought it. The great internet has been no help in identifying the correct part.
The wires that go to 1,3, and 5 run from the distributor down behind the block then under the exhaust manifold at the rear. They then pass in between the exhaust manfold outlet and the block on their way forward to each cylinder. There is a 1/4x20 threaded hole on the block right at where the manifold outlet is for this retainer bracket.
Ebay turned up plenty of generic stuff but nothing specific to the 78-87 year cars. I would assume that any car with a 305 in it would have this bracket. Perhaps if someone posted a photo of it I could fab one up, or if anyone knows the part number that would be a great help.

That is exactly what I had in mind. Now to find them......
