Bolts to the left front of the exhaust manifold. Does it hold the ignition wires back? 7935]
Yes, photo of mine.

Cool!
Another question. Is there a right way to arrange the wires on the distributor cap? I mean like where to start #1 wire so that it routes properly. I don't mean firing order. It's just that I'm starting fresh and it's confusing with nothing to go by.
I may have an issue trying to run factory appearing wires with Hooker Super Comps as well.
I guess mine got "tossed" before I got it! Does anybody have an "extra"?

Steve, it appears that this "L" bracket was only used on '68 & '69 big blocks, so yours wouldn't have had it but not 100% sure so don't take it as gospel. Here's a link where you can get one if you so decide.

Here is a "complete bracket kit" for a '67 B-body big block car. Supposedly, this is correct for your car.

Looks really nice
Ours has original paint and was mounted under the wire loom on the same stud. I feel original?
Does anyone have an answer to my distributor question above (post #3) regarding where to start the number one plug wire?
Looking at the distributor, #1 is usually on the bottom, more towards front of motor than back. It can be anywhere you want it to be, it all depends where you drop the oil pump shaft in once the engine is on TDC for the firing stroke.

As for routing wires with those headers, it's going to depend on what size the tubes are. With the 1 7/8 Super Comps, the factor wires seemed to work the best for me.
Typically, the #1 wire is located where the arrow is on this photo just like Mike was saying in the previous post.

Thanks again. Have to play around with the stock set I bought and see if I can make em work. I want it looking stock as possible. I'm learning the pain/re-engineering that's involved whenever you deviate from stock.
