I am getting close to finishing up my '68 300 440. It was a non-HP motor, but I am using HP manifolds. One picture that I did not take well enough when I took everything apart was the routing of the spark plug wires and brackets. I have most of the brackets sorted out, but I am wondering if the valve covers were different on HP vs non-HP.
The reason for wondering is the routing of the #5 and #7 wires. I ordered the Lectric Limited HP reproduction wire set and they came with all 90* boots. Their non-HP set has two boots that are straight, that I assume were for 5/7. Makes sense that these were routed over the right valve cover and held by the valve cover bracket. Not sure about HP. Seems like maybe the #7 wire should not use the valve cover bracket and go all the way around the back of the engine. Not sure.
Anyone have picture of the right side of a '68 HP? I have not found one.
