    Just curious but I see all these drag racers and drag boats that are bundling each bank of their sparkplug wires together as a unit with zipties. Must keep them together when theyre thrashing between rounds and it makes me wonder how badly they need to be separated. Are the new wires insulation so good that the days for crossfiring and jumping to ground gone?

    Well maybe you don't have to but I still keep them separated, it's kind of a sanitary thing!..

    There's just something about a neatly routed set of wires. Sorry, this is the best shot I could find right now. The view from the front has that old school Top Fuel look.

    OK, not a boat, but it shows what can be done with about 5.00 worth of zip ties...

    If you look real close you can see the holder off the valve cover. I restored the 70s vintage CalCustom separators. I love this old sh1t!

    Thanks guys. All are very nice installations. I agree completely about the look of the wires separated but I also think a well bundled set of wires is clean as well.
    Figured that the new wires pretty much ended the crossfire issue if theyre in good shape.
