Default Plug wire looms or trees

So what are you guys doing for these plug wire supports that keep them up off the manifold heat? The dealer says they are no longer made. Searching online nothing that say it would fit the Dak comes up. I want similar to OE vertical wire holders.

Thanks Jkeaton, The only ones I see will just float and drop where they want as a group instead of individually. I am looking for looms that mount on the existing valve cover studs like the oe looks did. I haven't seen anything like this that also says it will fit a Dodge. If I am specific on ebay all I get are plug wires. I have seen a few dodge compatible but they are for 01 and later.

OK I see some on ebay via a search engine search that will probably suffice if I can't find anything to mount on the valve cover studs.

Also, you can find them in the boneyards sometimes. Never hurts to eyeball as walking through; the local yards will do a "Buy something next time" usually for small stuff like that.

Thanks. I just went to my local Malwart no joy. Good idea Ralph I have been avoiding that since yards here are messed up and last time I went to pick and pull they sent me on a 100 mile round trip for part that wasn't there! I might go to B&R they are usually pretty good. I sent an email to Taylor which is the most common result in my searches

I think if you get one with channels from a 4th gen minivan and one from a 3.8 Wrangler, you'll have both sides covered for a V-6, possibly a V8 if you zip tie the closest 2 wires to the dist.
