Anyone tell me what this is?
Hi all, American specs Series 1 (1971) and, I think, mostly stock. Any other owners got a flimsy black plastic thing running beside the plugs on their engine? Hope the picture is clear enough.
It doesn't seemingly do anything or is that a problem: Ought it do something?

Caveat:
Old Ford V8's and some Chrysler products used them. But in metal. Cross fire issues as the old cloth covered spark plug wires detiorated. The very devil to replace wires in the right order. And, some say cross fire issues merely by having parallel wires, best to 'tangle" them a bit.
But,as long as wires are healthy probably mostly OK.
