    Where can I find a sparkplug wire holder/keeper that bolts with the valve cover on my Dauntless?

    Many flaps carry them even in chrome?

    I wasn't talking about the street rod style, my right valve cover has one that lays flat on the valve cover lip, bolt to bolt, with three insulated places for the wires. Is this original stuff?

    I think this is what original looks like.

    Looks like it would be fairly easy to cut out of thin guage steel if you had pictures and measurments.

    You may not want to do it out of sheet steel, as you put the wires in over time they'll become cut and then short out. May be safe if you dip it in some of the plastic rubber stuff.

    The three clips along the bottom of the valve cover appear to be stamped into the cover (but I could be missing something). Is that what you are trying to fix?

    If they are original equipment, I would like one to match. They are a separate piece that attach with the lower two valve cover bolts. The three places for the wires have been dipped in a neoprene or rubber for insulation - like some electrical tool handles are.

    Ok. Now that I am awake and have turned on the lights in the garage I see what you are talking about. It is a separate clip bar. I did a search and came up dry. I bet the only place you're gonna find one is on an old engine.
