Plan your wire routing first so each lead runs from the distributor cap to its plug without touching the cylinder heads, exhaust or throttle linkage, and without being stretched tight. Snap the wires into the holders and either clip the holders to the fan shroud or let them float between the wires to keep the bundle separated. Check that nothing contacts the linkage through its full travel before starting the engine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePairs Well With\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeed wires to go with them?
