O\K-- This is my new favorite forum officially. You guys were totally correct, that would look quite a bit better! The only problem is now I need to buy new wires :-(

My name is Greg and I am addicted to Y's.

Here's a couple of views that can give you an the idea. The factory manual also has illustrations. As Eddie said you can order the whole deal from a tbird parts house if you can't come up with some salvage, might as well order the new rubber though. I have to be very careful on mine on the drivers side and make sure they clear. Your headers are different than mine though, but it still works.

Here are three pictures I found in my files ---- this first one is a heavy duty truck motor and I like this kind of setup for an engine with headers. Could be made pretty slick to span between the valve cover studs.....

This one is very clean and has the passenger car style wire guides.....

And this one could be one of our members outfits - I don't have any idea where I got it

Hi Greg;  Get a catalog from Larry's T-Bird . They have a picture and the brackets for the wires. www.larrystbird.com, or any of the suppliers.  Hope this helps   God Bless   Eddie

Forgive me for being young and ignorant, but what do the factory looms look like? I've torn a few Y's apart now, but most haven't had any wires. I had considered running the wires under the headers, however, it just felt looked like it would be too hot? Any pictures? Thanks-- greg

Those factory looms are a real pain to do (ona car) but when they are done it really makes under the hood neat. The last time I did it, the motor was out.

help might be closer than you think.

Hey Greg, Nice job on the engine compartment. I like it a lot. One suggestion though-you might consider some factory style sprk plug wiring looms. That way wires are down below headers, off the valve covers and won't be in the way when you remove valve covers to reset the valves. + it cleans it up even more.



How about a shot of the whole truck! What is the color with the yellow - Is lt gray or silver, can't tell exactly but it looks great.

That's a nice looking truck, Greg. I am interested in the details of the T-5 install. I plan to start on a swap in a couple months.

Clean engine compartment, neat paint idea, looks great.
