Engine compartment wiring

glxstang · 06-16-2002, 04:35 PM

I pulled out my engine and tranny today and labeled all the wiring. The problem is that the wiring is all cracked, aftet all it's almost twenty years old. I can't put this crap back in with all my hard work on the rebuild and painting the engine compartment. My question is what have all of you done in this case where you want to replace the wiring.

Thanks for your input!

You could probably buy a new harness. there is a few companies out there who sell them I'm sure. (Painless Wiring???)

Rip off all the old split loom tubing and replace it with new split loom from Radio Shack. Then you can wrap all the junctions and ends with eletrical tape. It will looks like the factory harness if done correctly.

You could also route the harness in the fenderwells and in the cowl. That will really clean up the engine compartment.
