The way my wires are routed looks like a disaster. I got a 74 302 if that makes any difference, but anyone have any pictures of some nicely laid out wires so I can copy the setup? Thanks for the help,

Chris

That looks GREAT Gael! I went the old style approach but with a newer dist cover. I actually need to shorten a couple of wires to make it look better.

The Dist. cover is from almost any mid 80's to early 90's Ford V8. Fox body GT's, Thunderbirds, Lincoln's etc.

The radiator cap in the hose is stock original equip. on 75 and 76 V8 Mustang II's. Starting in 77 is when the cap went back into the radiator.

Check my webpage it has an engine pic. I also saw one routed behinf to the carb then over the valve covers in the middle that looked ok too. It jus a matter of useing lots of wire separators and finessing the lenght so they all match.

Ouch.. on the other hand, how do you like your K&N filter with the X-Stream lid? I'm planning on getting that at some point for my car.

I can't answer your X-Stream question, cuz the pic's not of my car. If it were my car, I surely wouldn't be taking pics 'til I got the wires straight.

Jumping on this badwagon, if I may...

Anyone would have pics of V6 wires?
