Make spark plug wire looms out of zip ties. When you replace your spark plug wires, odds are you will break a wire loom or two. Sometimes it is hard to find special wire looms or looms for your application so a cheap yet effective way to protect your plug wires from chaffing and melting against the exhaust manifold is to use zip ties. It also makes your engine compartment very neat and organized! Colored Zip Tie Here is how to use Zip Ties to fix your bumper (Drifter's Stitch)

Great idea for spark plug looms!
I havent seen nothing that original since the night I called my dad to help me get my truck home because the alternator belt broke. 30 years ago I watched my dad make me a temporary alternator belt out of a pair of panty hose just to get it home until the parts store opened the next morning. That was the day I knew MacGyver didn't have anything on my dad!

Speaking of the interference from the spark plug wire.
If wires are low ohms
Or higher ohms. Does the low ohms get better spark and have more interference with other vehicle components as. ignition module on an 2005 3. 8 gm supercharged engine?
Would be safer to keep stock oem acdelco replacement with higher ohms?

I had to clean up all the LAN and power cables when offices got interior renewed, since Im the only one who know how to plug the cables. Guess what I used: the Zip ties, I remembered this vid and worked great. If the company need to swap one of the cables? None of my problem, Ill quit. Thanks for the tip

You know, this wire loom idea could also work for other applications.
TV cables
That mess of cables in that room where the WiFi and other electronic connections are
Wires behind the walls (if easy and safe enough to do)
Can anyone think of more?

1 zip tie on the old bracket would have been a better idea. Also, I havent tried yet, but I think if you use one zip tie you can weave it over and under the 3 wires then reverse and over an under again before locking.

Definitely try the cheap cable ties first. The ties rated for high temperature are crazy expensive. Sold by 100/pack 80 - 100. You can buy five lifetime's supply of Harbor Freight cheap ties for that kind of cash.

How does your video have more view than the roadkill version of the SAME THING. Also should add you ripped them off. As their video was in December 2013. And you posted your on March 2014.
