Re: OEM Plug wire stands/supports

Not sure I have the complete upper set but I have some of the old original wire stands stashed away in the parts shed. Will be out of town early tomorrow am til Sunday evening but when get back I can look. Think I have the canted stand and a couple of the back of the block looms with the black plasti-dip wire protection on them.

Just a friendly suggestion, in the first pic I see the tri-angular air cleaner sitting on top of the carb. Never ran one like that but have read on several websites I belong to that that style is notorious for back fire/carb fires due to the foam absorbing gas fumes and igniting on a back fire. That can't be a good thing.

Just a suggestion, I would replace it with a good throw away paper filter and a nice looking breather. Maybe even an original GM factory style breather?
