When I got my 66 B, it ran along the cylinder head, but it always made me
nervous. I was afraid it would get damaged when changing spark plugs or
messing with the distributor. So I rerouted it along the inner fender, with
a few hold-down loops.
I can't help with the OD wiring -- I installed my own OD and had to run new
wires.
