How is everyone making their wiring look not a mess under the hood.?

[Scott91370]

I did loom as well. And a lot of time making sure wires would reach where they needed to go without stretching or making them longer.

I haven't thought about changing the aluminum but it would probably look good. But since I am already over budget by about $10k, it'll have to stay blue.

What else do you need an explaination on?

also your brake booster charcoal filter is not oriented properly , it has to be vertical for it to do its job.

Are you talking about the ball thing? I haven't had any issues and it's in the same orientation as when I got the truck.

which ps pump option did you take, extrnal reservoir, attached, or saginaw ?

I stuck with the saginaw so my hoses would work.

I stuck with the saginaw so my hoses would work.

to be fair if you ever want to do the saginaw AND have remote reservoir, you can replace the ham can with another reservoir and pipe it to another reservoir. The TC(Type II) pumps that would have been under either of the other 2 options is a nice pump but slightly louder and need to run at a higher RPM for the same flow/pressure

I used the split mesh loom as well. Purchased the non split by accident first and it was unusable. Don't mind the loose wires under the wiper pump...I'm almost done wiring the alarm system. Still looking to clean up the engine bay by rerouting the battery lines and maybe some less crusty brake lines. If anyone has advice on how to route the fuel line I'm all ears....I routed it up and over the back of the engine as I was a little concerned of the line getting crushed and igniting in a collision. Then it goes to 3 inches of soft line, then a barbed quick disconnect to the fuel rail.

I just ran mine down right off the back of the intake fuel line and down the firewall, wrapped in heat shield. I used -6 braided line and AN fittings. But mine is an '85 so the tank is on the driver's side. For you, I'd suggest running it down the back of the engine to the lip on the firewall and running along that until you get to the pass frame rail to go down to the tank

I found these products worked well on my old crusty 305.

Stock 74 k20 w/ 350.
Compared to almost anything else there’s not a lot of bay clutter in these trucks. That said I’ve gone to great lengths on my 55 to minimize every connective run including hoses.
Biggest benefit was to custom rewire and bundle heater hoses and wires under the inner fender. Only visible is a short loomed run on each side of the block and a short run from the rear of the inner fender to heater ports. Temp senders near the tstat run in bent brake line fastened to run along the intake/head mating seam. Lots of room under the radiator top support.

Sounds pretty cool. Any pictures?
