They were for a set of sheet metal looms that kept the wires off the exhaust after they came through a set of 4-wire looms at the back of the block behind the heads. The tricky part was keeping the wires for the front two cylinders for each side off the exhaust pipe where it attached to the ram's horn manifolds. I believe there might have been a single 2-wire guide attached to one of the oil pan bolts in that area. Jerry
