I put a new distributor on my 1994 Z28 and thought that while I had it apart I should replace the plug wires also. I started with the drivers side and finished without a lot of trouble. However, the passenger side plug wires I'm having trouble with. The wires disappear around the a/c compressor and I can't see what is holding them. I can take them loose from the spark plugs and any clips back by the block put I can't get the wires pulled back through where they go by the a/c compressor. Is there a wire retainer "hidden" back in there somewhere? What is the best way to go about replacing the plug wires on the passenger side?

 

to answer your question... yes there is a stock wire loom (holder) than the wires are sitting in. i ended up removing the loom anyways because i couldnt get the 8mm wires to fit. i used a lot of zipties to keep the wires out of the way! do some searching on the board... there is tons of advice about changing and routing wires! sorry i couldnt be more help!

 

there should be two looms on the side of the block, and then there is a group of channels that the wires slip into on the front of the block.

to get to those i crawled underneath and removed the serp belt and removed the tensioner pulley...it was 2 small bolts and it made it cake to get to the front loom

 

im doing plugs and wires this weekend well see how that goes.. good to know about the loom back there though

 

i took that tensioner pulley off and it made it easy to get to that first loom, but the "channels" is the part i'm having trouble with. i guess i will just have to get some zip ties out and work around it.
