Anyone know what these are called or a part number? I can't find them anywhere, no matter how I word the Google search.

I would go to ford and check out what their part number is for it and then do a search.

I've actually had good luck taking some of those plasticky things with me to AutoZone, Pep Boys, etc. and looking at what they have available. Most of those stores have a little rack that has assorted plastic retainers.

I searched quite extensively for these when you first posted. It appears that these are a very niche thing that no one resells. You're certainly not going to find it in a parts store... Best bet might be to remove them from another harness at a junk yard, if you want them that badly.

I appreciate everyone's help with this. Will circle back with what I ended up using.

the originals are worn out and no longer hold tight in the valve cover bolt

I wonder if I kept mine, probably not but I do have a box full of that kind of stuff that has come off my car. I did a semi-tuck with my wiring a while back so I don't have that loom going over the cam covers any more.

How are you supplying the wires to the coils and the injectors? It never it seemed like it would be worth the effort when you have to run those wires up into plain sight anyway.

Mine aren’t in “plain” sight per say but they’re there. I took that big loom and tucked it down by the ac hi-press line. Extended and ran the coil and injector wires around the back of the motor and snuck them between the row of injectors and row of coil packs. My my fuel rate may have a different orientation because of the inter cooler manifold. You can eliminate some wires as they all eventually use a common ground. So I only ran 2 ground wires for 8 components on each side. I will see if I can find some better pics. Photobucket is being weird. Just gave it a cleaner look and I spent some coin on those laser etched cam covers, seemed an awful shame to cover them up.
