    Is there a spark plug wire retainer on the RH side of the engine that connects to the supercharger snout bolts? I have one on the LH side, but the one on the RH side only has the plastic clip, but no metal bracket to attach it to anything. I called the parts department at the local dealership yesterday and they didn't really show anything in this area, except for what I already have. The reason I question it, though, is because the plastic clip has what appears to be a female opening for a bar to slide into, like what is on the other side.

    I "Startpaged" pictures for this, but didn't really come across anything. All the photos showed the wires in the clip, but not held down with anything.

    Do you mean you have this one (black)


    There is no other for the rear. If anything..the hole is on the fuel rail for the clip to be held into. I know what you are thinking..you are thinking, what if there was a much better wire holder like....THIS!
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    I saw a photo of one like that which put the wires nice and neat, but didn't know what it was on, nor did I know what to ask about.

    ...so, what is it from? Will it fit under the stock engine cover?

    Yes, the clip in your top photo on the far right is the one I have, but I don't have anything on the opposite side. It seems like there should be another bracket about where that black bolt head is on your photo.
