69 BB #4 plug wire support

[Michael B.]

I see that this plug wire support is shown on page 368 of the AIM as "existing support" for the #4 plug wire on the right valve cover. I would assume that this part would also be included on the L68/71.

My question is should it be there with the U69 Radio Ignition Shielding or is it eliminated with this RPO? It does not specifically show on page 440 of the AIM (U69). I don't have one on my car and I don't recall seeing one on other BB of that era.

I have one on my 69, it is for #2 and #4 wires. I have an L68, with a radio. Don't know if it is original, but looks it.

Michael -

"Existing support" means it came on the engine from Tonawanda, and they had no clue whether the engine was going to end up in a car with or without a radio.
