<VV> Wire retaining clips

[Sethracer at aol.com]

A couple of years ago, I was tossing out some V6 leftover stuff and I  picked 
out and saved a wire loom for the V6 ignition wires. Many newer GM  cars 
(Last 20 years) have used these plastic clips. The Corvair, of course,  pre-dated 
these and used rubber-dipped metal clips and riveted them to the upper  
shroud. These clips would retain the ignition wires below the fan belt (On  
1961-1969 models) keeping them from being torn up in the fan. On many cars, the  
rubber has long since departed, and the remaining metal clips, while they will  
often perform the function of retaining the wires, they can also damage the  
outer insulation on the wires. These late model clips are all plastic and have a  
hinged upper retainer clip that snaps down over the wires to retain them in  
place. That retainer can snap up to remove the wires. In their regular  
operation, they snap onto a metal clip to mount on the motor, but they have a  
mounting hole which could be utilized for individual use. If you are hanging  around 
the junkyards and see these on junking motors, they are worth picking up.  
The actual plastic piece is available at Chevy dealers P/N 12163607 -  priced at 
$1.06 each. Highly recommended! - Seth  Emerson
