Default What is the current term for a spark plug wire seperator?

I'm looking for the spark plug wire separator that is at the corner of the valve cover that keeps the plug wires off the heat.
I've looked on Ebay and found nothing.
Hard to image that with all the 5.2 sold this part is not listed.
I've tried calling it a spark plug wire separator, holder, and a few others and still get now results.
Does anyone have a part number for this little bugger, or know who sells it in a kit?....
Thanks.

Default specifically for this application

I do find universal wire separators but I would like to find the OEM style that sit on top of the corners of the valve cover. I tried to insert a photo, but it didn't come through...

Host your pics at someplace like photobucket, then just use the provided code from that site to insert images.

Might try a local junkyard for the wire looms. (another word I have seen used)

Just back from the Chrysler / Jeep / Mopar dealer's parts department.
The spark plug separators I seek have been discontinued and they only offer the cheesy little separators and want you to use tie wraps to hold them off the manifold.
Disappointing to say the least.

I may still have the separators from my old 1997 Ram. I'll check and drop you a PM later.
