Here is how my alternator wire runs across my intake. Can anyone recommend a set up to bolt into my intake and tie the wires down to it. Please point me in a solid direction so I can have a clean looking run.
thanks!

I usually run it out under the top radiator/ heater hose or run it along the oil pan rail and up around the bellhousing. No way to hide it on top of the intake..

Thats how it was routed previously, but i have a new front runner from vintage air, and I just want to see how others have secured the wiring to the manifold. I am sure there are some products out there, but I cant find it.

Maybe get a piece of conduit, weld tabs to it, and paint it? Choose a color already in the engine bay or try to match the intake to help make it disappear.

It might mean you will have to lengthen the wires but the alt wires I would run low near where the oil pan bolts on the block with protection from the header heat and then come up from underneath to the alt.
I would extend the temp sensor so it runs in the same harness as the alt wiring and come up from underneath the alt.

A couple Adel Clamps using the valve cover bolts would be tidy and functional. That's how my wire harness was ran.

I found that to be my solution. met up with the boys last night and my buddy Glen was like, use some adel clamps. Had a few lying around, now i just need a good looking bolt.
