I would like to know where to find the correct routes for all of the spark plug wires for a 1971 440.  I need to know what clips and brackets should be holding the wires.  Thanks for your time!@

Wow, thanks for the pictures, but I've got another question: when you run the wires through the brackets/looms, are adjacent cylinder wires o.k. to be placed side by side in the looms, or do they have to be separated by one of the other cylinder wires?  I figured this would be easier if I didn't have to sequence the wires to keep neighboring wires from running next to each other, so as long as they're separated on the bracket/looms by a few centimeters or so.  For example, do I have to run the wires 2,6,4,8, or are they o.k. if they're placed 2,4,6,8? 
Thanks in advance...

I'm not sure If I'm pointing about what you are exactly talking but I fit mine on same adyacent cilinder order on brackets, just for good looking and order purpuose. I don't know if that affects function on something

As long as the plug wires are of good quality --  running any wire side by side another should be no problem, It's when cheap quality wires  or wires get old is when the external insulation breaks down and  can't protect them from cross firing issues.

Ok, that will make the routing of the wires that much easier.  Side by side they will be, then!
