Title: Wire separators?
Post by: GTRS Fiero on April 28, 2018, 09:50:58 am

What are the separators for the plug wires called?  More specifically, where can I find the correct ones?  I've seen some for other cars.

Spark plug wire loom or separator.  You won't find the OEM style for the Fiero.  They were designed to slide onto a small metal stand that bolted to the engine.  I've not been able to find any for a 6 cylinder.  All have been 4-wire looms.

Hmmm.  That's what I've found.

I use generic ones, tied to the metal stand with a cable tie.

F85gtron has red plug separators.  Where'd those come from?

You can weave your own out of zip ties.

Yeah, but that's not my style.  If I'm going to change something, I'd like to think I made an improvement.

You know, sometimes you go to a place where you get a review by your peers.  Ideally, it's an objective review, but I once had someone write in the comments section that my engine bay was "disgusting".  As best as I could determine, he was referring to the fact that I hadn't replaced the factory insulation on the firewall and sides.

I've actually seen this done. The zip tie thing. It looked a lot nicer than it sounds.
I haven't done it on mine because the wires are not exposed for enough distance to make it worthwhile.

Someone who calls an otherwise clean and orderly engine compartment "disgusting" has issues. Eff 'em.

I could see having a solid piece of plastic in a paperclip shape, with intents spaced a bit for plug wires, with a channel around the perimeter, and running a zip tie in that channel.

I found mine in the cheesy chrome section with the Chevy big motor accessories
