These are pictures of the reproduction wire brackets offered by Gary Goers.
Commentary by Gil Cunningham
Not all ram engines are the same.
Very late 300Fs and all 300Gs do not use the head bolt attached two wire bracket
under the power steering pump for wires #1 and #3. Instead, these cars use
the "standard" B engine bracket attached to the valve cover bolt and are
routed over that cover. Also, some 300Gs had a 2-wire type bracket
attached to a head bolt near #6 sparkplug.
300F and G brackets are not painted,
except those attached to the head bolts or the valve cover. These are, of
course, painted black with the engine. The remainder are not painted as they
are put on later when the ram manifolds are installed.
The 3 two wire brackets with the large holes are secured by the corner-most head bolts of the rear and left front. (Except the 300G and LATE 300Fs which use only the two on the rear.) The four wire bracket with the large attachment hole is secured by the right front corner head bolt. Wires #2,4,and 6 utilize it. The long, skinny brackets are all secured by the ram manifold bolts-----numbers 3 and 4 on the right side, and numbers 2 and 4 on the left. (Counting from the front.) Both left side brackets "face" rearward. The right side ones "face" each other. Only #8 wire utilizes the right side, while both #7 and #5 use the left side.
Let's start with the right side of the engine.

Thanks to Bob Hayen for the photos of his 300Fengine.
And now for some pictures of a G engine.
This is of the left side front, the black bracket on the black engine and the black valve cover.
Little wonder it doesn't photo well.
With cardboard inserted for contrast, thar she be!

Wire routing on the "G" (F is mostly the same) is quite the arrangement!
1. Wires #1 and #3 go thru the four way bracket attached to the left front
intake manifold bolt, over the left valve cover, thru the 2-way wire bracket which is secured to the lower front valve cover attachment nut and then to their respective spark plugs. Note: #3 nipple is an obtuse angle to provide dipstick clearance. All others are right angle and a reddish-brown color. Distributor
end nipples are all straight and black except for #1 which is red.
2. Wires #5 and #7 also go thru the 4-way bracket, then turn rearward and
pass under the ram tubes, thru the two 2-way long narrow brackets secured by the intake manifold bolts (left side of engine). They then curl around the rear of the head and pass thru the 2-way bracket attached to the left rear head bolt. #8 of course is then attached to its nearby spark plug, while #5 continues on forward to its plug.
3. Wires #2, #4, and #6 go from the distributor right and down to the 4-way
bracket secured by the right front head bolt. From there, they go rearward to their respective spark plugs. On some "Gs" there is a wire bracket near the #6 spark plug secured with a head bolt.
4. FINALLY (!) #8 plug wire goes from the distributor rearward under the
ram manifold and thru the TWO long 2-way brackets attached to the manifold bolts (right side of engine). It then curls down and thru the 2-way small bracket attached with the right rear head bolt and on to its nearby spark plug.
Whew! Hope this is just a little clearer than mud, and helps out a bit.
Hope it also looks ok when it is on the listserver.
300ly, Gil C.
