Brief Description:  Ignition Harness Wedge Clamps

Installed high temperature clamps for the spark plug wire ignition wires for left and right side lower cylinders. During this process, I realize I had, somewhere along the line, crossed the upper and lower spark plug wires for each cylinder. My initial run of the wires was a bit interesting, so I cracked open the firewall forward bible and discovered my error. This meant I had to take off the engine baffle plug wire grommets, the right side is easy, the left side not so much because of the oil cooler and oil cooler brace, but none the less, was able to re-route the plug wires as needed, and the wire length seems to be exactly as needed.

Attached the wires using the high temp clamps to the bottom screw of each cylinder valve cover, and routes the wires behind the engine, using cable ties to keep the wires away from the engine mount. I considered using wedge clamps, and still may, but the wires are so light weight, relatively speaking, that seems overkill.
