Re: [FWDLK] Spark Plug Holders ?

Plasti-dip is available at Home Depot, either as the old fashioned dip or a spray.

Last time it was in the aisle with the spray paint. Available in black and colors.

Be patient, it can take several dunks to get the right thickness on a plug wire retainer.

there werent actual plastic retainers like newer cars have [60s up] but- as mentioned already the rubber dipped metal retainers- attached by means like center valve cover bolts of poly blocks, and head tappings/v-cvr rail bolts on big blocks and hemis

WHAT I DID FOR A 57 FURY WAS USE THE TOOL DIP [eastwood sells it- and other suppliers] AND DIP THE ENDS OF THE WIRE LOOMS TO REPLICATE THE ORIGINAL PROTECTIVE LAYER

another trick if you want to be slick and use modern or better gauge ign wires- CAREFULLY [and firmly] hold the looms against a piece of wood and - with a drill press- make the wire openings larger- for 8mm wires- then dip them, the upgrade will be less notable- just remember a red boot on #1 position dist cap boot

Hi group,

Does anyone repro the rubber hold downs that the spark plug wires fit into on each side of the engine on a 1961 DeSoto ? Thanks..

*************************************

Are you referring to the pressed steel guides with the dipped rubber coating at the separations, or the free floating plastic separators ?

The latter are aftermarket and used to come with wire sets (they might still?) The steel dudes often times lose the rubber coating, but this can
easily be replicated with the insulating "tool dip" for plier handles, etc.

Or are you thinking of something completely different ?

B.
