Show me your Clewett wire install - seeking help

[0172XCarrera]

Hey Guys and Gals - I'm elbow deep into replacing the original Beru wires on my '84 3.2 with Clewett Engineering wires purchased through our host. I could use some "lesson's learned" from those who have been there already. I'm on the verge of breaking the wire separators to get them off the old wires and felt like I needed to back off and seek experienced recommendations. The Clewett site has nothing to offer in their tech section and there have been no YouTube results or other posts that I can find. I'd appreciate any photos and stories of how any of you that may have tackled this project got through it and how it turned out. - Thanks ! Jim

Ditched the original brackets and ordered a few sets of wire separators and various size cable clamps.

If I remember correctly, the Clewett wires are bigger in diameter than the Beru wires. Thus, the original wire separators won't work. Go to your local Advance Autoparts or whatever and buy a couple of packs of wire separators as used by good ole American hotrodders. The ones I used are made to hold two wires and can be spaced to nicely control the plug wires. I think there were about 10 to a pack and I used most of two packs on my twin plug engine. Good luck!

Very Nice motor 84Neun11 - and thank you for providing pictures and suggestions for new routing option and wire guides. Same to you Mr. Cook and you are correct - they are a larger diameter than the stock Beru wires. In the meantime, I figured out how to get the stock wire guides off and began the scary process of drilling them out to see if I could re-use the stock mounting points and hardware. Tomorrow is another day and I will keep working at it after work. If it doesnt work out I can always use the hot-rod option as a fall back.

If anyone is reading this thread and has another completed Clewett wire install for their 3.2 - I'd still be interested in seeing pictures of how they came out and hearing any sage words of advice.

Thanks again ! Jim
