Topic: 66 San Jose Passenger Shock Tower Support Wire Loom Retainers/Clips

[Morsel]

I have a 66 San Jose GT K-Code fastback. I'm in the final stages with the engine compartment and have a couple questions revolving around choke cable routing and also the wire feed that goes under the standard shock tower braces. I've searched all over and someone here had mentioned that the clips used were the bigger rubber covered clips like used in the trunk, not the one I'm showing here in the attached image.

I did already reach out on the hipo exchange forum, but have no replies yet.

Does anyone have any pictures of the routing and clips for the choke cable and wire feed harness on the shock tower brace on a 66 K-Code?

Thanks,

Jason

Think you'll find that that is not an original San Jose built example


Have never seen the choke cable attached to the shock tower support on a 66 K code from San Jose

The wire clips are the other style I believe rather than the interior wire retaining clip from the trunk that you show.  The one your looking for is the same style as the one that holds the electrical loom up and away from the battery on the passenger side radiator support





Other than the choke cable issue the question is a standard (rather than K code related) 66 San Jose question


Picture E8 in this thread shows the back side of the electrical clip referred to. Its just installed differently on a 6 cylinder. V8 at San Jose were typically on the leading face with two being sort of normal

Have hundreds of other 66 San Jose examples of this detail

FYI, the lower image is a June '65 Dearborn convertible, which is why there are 4 clips since that car has a power top.

Another original example - just clearer and shows more detail to the coated/dipped electrical clips used at San Jose
