6cyl spark plug wire separators ?

[Robert S.]

Can someone tell me if there are suppose to be only two 3-wire separators on C1 six's? I don't have any on mine and would like to get some. Also, I haven't seen them advertised anywhere, so if you know of a source I would appreciate that info too. Thanks, Bob

Yep, just 2 of them. You can find them in junkyards. Don't know if anybody repops them. Chuck

Thanks Chuck, I'll have to check some junkyards then. Bob

You could try the "usual suspects", Mary Jo, Werner G, etc. I'm sure they have a pair, but you would pay through the nose for them.

Early 235 6 bangers all have them. Also, "later model" 26X CI engines use one. When I used to go junkyarding, I'd always look for them. Always had luck. Unfortunately, don't have any extras sitting around. Chuck

Thanks again Chuck for your suggestions and info. I have looked in the "ussual suspects" catalogs but haven't called them and didn't find any separators listed. I think I'll try the recycle route. Bob

PS. I've read a number of your past articles on the restorer CD and found them both very informative and enjoyable

Any dealer selling classic parts for 55 to 57 chevy have them.
