[DeTomaso] Spark plug wire holders

[Julian Kift]

I think it depends what headers you have and how easy it is the thread the plug wires down through without fear of them touching the headers and melting, although you could solve that with heat sleaving on the wire. Personally, for regular headers I have the wires slung under the header and just use the clamp style separators to keep the wires neat and together.
