Just changed wires and have got a ?

I just changed my wires. Put on the MSD 8.5 and let me tell that doing it totally sucked. 5hrs. for plugs and wires. Got to love that opti . Anyways my question is if their is any way to get wire holders that go in the stock positions and hold an 8.5 wire? If not what did you guys do to make sure that they don't move foward on the passanger side and hit the power steering pulley and belt. Right now I have a big zip tie holding them up against the alternator/power steering bracket. I have about 1/4" worth of clearance right now but it would be nice to get it further away and back were the stocks were located.

I did Talyor 8.5mm wires and really didn't have a problem using the stock wire looms, I did use some tie wraps but not near the belts.

I did the 8.5s when I did the LT install.
I only ran one wire in the old location behind the steering pump, #2, all the others I put convoluted tubing on and ran them through the bracket. worked out really well, I did not have to use OVC on my wire setup and all it took was a few zip ties.
