No, youd have to use those little, green paper covered, wire, twist ties that came in the box of plastic baggies. We used those a lot, back in the day. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

GM actually had a plastic style &quot;snap tie&quot; that was used on 69 cars..maybe others. Our 69 BB Novas have them holding wires together near alternator wrapped around the heater hoses..so, I guess you could use those and be &quot;period correct&quot;.

black electrical tape. If you use the metal ties wrapped in paper they may cause your plug wires to short out between each other after time. Ty-wraps have been around a long time. They are better than the bread wrapper tyes BUT I don't remember anybody using them till the 80's. GM offers nylon tyes for what you need. Any RS car or heavy optioned car would have them.
