Can someone please give me a detailed description of how to route the spark plug wires neatly and out of the way? The factory way? Any way that will 100% take user error out of the equation of burning yet another set of wires up? I see these arcing near the boot to head, and wire to manifold. They aren't touching the manifold.
Also what about good looms or at least factory ones. I will also be purchasing the heat socks for the business end of the wires.
Thank you.
I bought wires, boots, and crimper on Amazon IIRC. I bought the blue looms at O'Reillys. A package comes with 1 each, 4, 3, and 2 hole so I bought one for each side and cut one off the 3 loom. Cut each wire and routed it with the looms so they all are pretty much parallel. You can also make your own looms with zip ties too. I like to route the wires around the valve cover to facilitate removing them if I need to. I haven't had any issues with #5 & 7 ever doing it this way (or is this a Vortec thing?) With angled plugs and headers, I need the wrap on the headers for the back 2 cylinders' plugs.

The Taylor ends for the plugs are molded so, I think it makes for better insulation too. It is a PITA getting the heat resistant boots on them. HTH
Edit: And use plenty of dielectric grease while assembling and installing them.
