Any idea where I could find these wire clips (or could I just use zip ties?). Patient is my 315 D500 hemi (very similar but smaller)

On every other early Hemi to the best of my knowledge. Chryslers also used them. Almost positive my DeSoto had them. There are only 6 per engine of course. Function is to keep the wires off of and out from under the wire covers as it is installed.

I understand why they existed. I was hoping for a lead as to where I could buy a set. In another thread, there is a photo of the clip. Doesn't look that complicated to make, if need be.

Yeah. Sorry about that

Here is the update from that thread:

Powerflite - 2016-11-15 10:02 AM You could probably just use pallet bands - you know the metal straps that they use to tie pallets down. That stuff is quite springy, but not so much that you can't bend it. The hard part is going to be putting in the little bends that prevent it from galling the plug wires. But if you can do those first, you should be able to get it to work.

Those clips, and the metal covers that go over the wires, just freak me out. Especially when used with the crummy old style spark plug wire insulation.
The whole goal is to keep plug wires AWAY from metal, not purposely encase it in metal. It's just begging for an arcing to take place.


The pallet band metal would work. (I think). There is a product called PlastiDip that could be used to make the metal less likely to abraid through the spark plug wire insulation and cause arcing.

Another alternative is to fashion the clips from plastic somehow. Would be a good 3D printing exercise. Hint Hint. (Somebody?)
