Any body have a Parts Scematic,For The 87 K5/Jimmy /Blazer Full Size
The HEI High Voltage Wiring Organisor's Locking Clip's
for Spark Plug Wire's,, or the Part's # from the Clip's,

They Keep the wires Neatly Trimed, Leaving the Distrbutor Cap
Clamped,In place and away from Exhaust Manifolds,,

They also clip on the Bracket 's From the Head,,
Especialy The Driver Side,, Near Valve Cover Edge,
They are Gray Plastic and Break with Age,,

I have Looked in The Help (Doorman Products),Section,, of many Part's Stores in the area,,and No luck !

I have a Friend Who has sources and Finds GM/Delco Parts,,For Me,,and others,,
and he mainly deals in NOS New Old Stock,,
He sent Me A Scematic for a 92 GM SBC, TPI set up,,??

Is this for an LO3/LO5 (305/350)engine?

I see some of the plug wire retainer parts in the parts manual, but there are quite a few pieces, and they are different from the LE9/LS9 (305/350) pieces.
 
It is the TBI 5.7 350 SBC,, that came in the 87 GMC/Jimmy/Blazer FullSize, I guess I will Go look at the Tune up info tag,,
2-minutes later
ZKZ on sticker?? No LO-? #

Which way are the manifolds oriented? Over the plugs or under the plugs? I suspect it's an LOx, not the others, but need to know.

I will say that if you are talking about JUST the plastic piece that clips onto the brackets, I believe that part wasn't ever sold. But I'll check if that is what you are asking for. There look to be four pieces to that sides plug wire support. Bracket bolted to the back of the head, a bracket that bolts to the side of the head (maybe two?), a piece that bolts to the bracket, then the plastic piece(s?) that actually hold the wires.

Probably just easier for me to take a picture of the manual page and post it on webshots, so you can figure out exactly what you need, and I can cross reference that. But need to know which motor (manifold orientation) so I can narrow down which manual page to shoot a pic of. There were at least 5 different small block's from '85-88.
 
My wire separators all broke on me and i bought some from MSD that have worked very well. They hold 2 wires each and there's a mounting hole through the middle that i used to mount it to the factory steel bracket. Here's a link for the separators i'm using. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/MSD-8841/?image=large

The Exhaust Manifolds are under the Plug's,The dip stick is on pass side at #6 Plug,and realy close,,,Centerbolt Valvecover's,,

I have used Electrical "High Heat" versions of
Tie Wraps to seperate and hold them in the Past,,
Trouble is
They Some time's expand,,,and Slip letting the wire Contact a Heat Source ,,The Exhaust Manifold,

It Is Best to tighten them up a notch while hot before cutting the,,
Tail off flush,,, or leave enough to grip with needle nose,,
Till your sure they are secure,,

It Work's on some set ups but,, Ocasionally Depends on the Brand and Grade of Spark Plug Wires,,for longer Life,
3,year Waranty, or Lifetime Waranty,,

The Sceme- Matic Parts Page would be a great Help,,
Mike
 
Dorian; keep up the Search,,
And if you find the scematic bring it!

And Scott Those Clips would work realy well on the "driver side front' bracket,,And probaly on the other places,,,
I need a Look at closer,, Thanks both of you,,
Mike
if I Can not find some More
 
Thats the TBI Motor 1987-88,,
Thank's I will look at it a while,

It came in the Blue/Gray shaded,,:mad: when i went to the link
and for now it can not be copied to my file's,
,in non shaded,,or blown up,,but I e/mailed to Clyde,
thanks again
Mike
 
Assuming I can see the same thing you can, the manual pages are a darker color, kind of blue-gray. So that's probably why it looks like something is wrong with it.

Easiest thing to do with those files is to view it as big as will fit on your screen, hit the "print screen" button, create a new paint image, and paste it there. But if you don't need the image locally, you can always go back to the webshots page. :)
 
I was In a Panic,,But now that you explained it,,
I will Probaly Figure it out,,sooner,,,:doah:
as i only use 3% of the Function's/ programs of this LapTop,,,
now i can get this done,
Mike
