plug wires on side/top of valve cover?

I was wondering where to get this piece, so that my plug wires don't burn!

Look into the Made-For-You loom kits sold by Thunder Racing.

Thats a nice kit but a PITA to get the boots on. I used MSD cut to fit on mine this time and the opti end is already on then you install the plug end. Comes with a crimping tool for the vice. Got some multi fit Moroso holders and it worked out great.

MSD #32129
Moroso holders #72143 (had to modify)
Got them local for $140 CDN

The Thunder kit is nice. I don't know how it's "easier" to get the 90* boots on instead of the straight opti boots, but ok. I didn't think it was hard at all. There's a thread that includes the lenghts of the wires on here.

I don't think you can use just the wire holders without longer wires, if that's what you're wanting to do. Try zip ties if you want to keep the stock routing.

The Thunder kit gives you 7mm boots for 8mm wire. You can't tell me that it wasn't a pain in the ***. MSD all the way.

I got 8mm boots. Did you call them and ask about it?
