I will start searching for the "clover leaf brackets", to have them, in the event this is wrong. It would be interesting to know the part numbers for the clover leaf brackets. The nice thing about these brackets is that it keeps the wires elevated from heads and the heat. |

Re: 8BA spark plug wire brackets
The only place I know of is at swap meets or Ebay from time to time.

Re: 8BA spark plug wire brackets
Okay thanks. Looks like somebody a long time ago put 4 brackets on one set of wires. 2 cloverleaf and 2 round ones.

pooper. The other no-no is having all the secondary wires in a metal tube, à la Porsche. Never a good idea. |

Re: 8BA spark plug wire brackets
I found some of the clover leaf ones in the garage. I'll take some photos and attach them later. I'm not going to use them if you think they will work for you.
Funny I did not find the ones off the Merc engine that I was sure I knew exactly where they were at. I ran into another pair mounted on the same four wires. The wires are hooked to a Mallory cap and Rajah plug ends. I wonder where the other four wires are at? I lost an entire engine in that garage once. I spotted two more on an engine somebody had given me. There are definitely right and lefts. That engine still had Ford Script wires. Last edited by Flathead Fever; 02-15-2019 at 05:48 PM. |

Re: 8BA spark plug wire brackets
No, the wires are good, even though they look warn. I think I will order a new set anyway from Carpenter so I can get the correct plug ends and use these as a spare set. No issues previously, I just wanted to be period correct for the car.
