I have a '79 Trans Am with 400 Pontiac and a 4 Speed. I have a question about starter and ignition wire routing\orientation. I know what connections\terminals that the wires route to. I am interested in how the wires should be orientated to prevent issues with rubbing on the heat shield, being too close to the exhaust manifold, etc. I am amazed at the minimal amount of space in this area. Every orientation that I set seems to look wrong. I have reviewed the '78 service mag and I can not orientate the wires per the mag due to size\shape of the wires\wire connections.
If anyone has a picture of the stock orientation, that would be great! I have no idea if the wires are stock and if extra length & connection design is causing the problem.
