Anybody know exactly how these went from the factory?

NOS Spark Plug Wire Retainers

They don't look like anything I've ever seen on a factory 350...
That being said, it appears they bolt to the outer valve cover bolt locations. the outer two holes would be for the wires, the center bit is just a divider. Most every factory set-up I've see have the wires coming off the cap, around the back of the VC's, down and in behind the exhaust manifolds, then come up to the spark plugs. The set you got look like they're meant to be routed over top of the VC's...which was definitely not ever how it was from the factory.

They look a lot different when not covered in oil and cooked from the exhaust manifold.
I haven't bought them yet...still looking for factory correct...whatever that happens to be 
Are you sure those aren't from GMPP? I don't remember there ever being metal wire holders from the factory. And chrome plated wasn't normal. Why would you want 3 slots in the front and 3 slots in the rear? At least one would be empty in each.
