    Looking for Big Block spark plug wire separators for 8-10mm wires

    Where can I get spark plug wire separators that (1) will accommodate 8-10mm wires, and (2) will slip onto the stock valve cover brackets? As you know, one 4-wire and one 2-wire separator is needed for each side.

    I've searched many of the usual places with no luck. I can find stock separators for smaller diameter cables, and aftermarket separators that don't have a slot to mount to the stock brackets.

    I'm asking because I installed Taylor 8mm Spiro-Core braided cables. They're 8mm cables with a braided steel jacket so overall diameter is a bit over 9mm. BTW, they look "almost" stock (at least to the untrained eye) and seem to work great. No more cross-firing is heard and the engine runs more smoothly compared to my reproduction braided cables.

    Any suggestions? This is about a part to accommodate non-stock ignition wires, so maybe not many of you have looked for this part.

      I've had trouble finding correct wire looms for stock big block braided plug wires. The looms I've ordered that are sold as the correct ones are too small and the braided wires won't fit.
      Any suggestions that might solve both our problems?
      Thanks
