You might want to try our host first, but you can get them from Andial by calling 714.957.3900.

Part number is 901 609 132 01 and they're about $8-$9 each.

When I do that I get a "retainer". Is that the spark plug hold downs?

Thanks,
Dean

Yeah, something is wrong. If Jerry W and Andial get near $10, Pelican isn't going to have the same thing for $1.74.

I think the $10 units are the twin plug lower plug connector holders. I believe Christian is just looking for wire seperators. correct?

That's a good question. When I gave my answer, I assumed that Christian was looking for the lower spark plug hold-down clips for twin-plug motors. That is what the part number was for. I sincerely apologize if I misunderstood the post and made someone buy something they don't need.

I think Christian is asking about the extended-Z-shaped stainless steel tabs that affix to a valve-cover stud and reach out to keep a sparkplug boot from retracting under vibration, or whatever, on a twin-plug car.

Stephan is the winner
I was at Willow Springs the other day and my spark plug boot came off. So I changed the tips on the spark plugs and i will use Spark plug hold downs so it will not happen again.

I'm looking for the wire loom/hold-downs that were similiar to the ones uswed on the OEM wire set. Basically, I need separation and something to mount down to keep them from moving, etc. like the orange ones in the picture of bkrygiers.

Thanks,
Dean

Those things are plain, ordinary, plastic auto-parts-store parts unless you're a concours person and need originals. Moroso makes good ones, available through a variety of aftermarket/hot-rod catalogues.
