Default !wire mod write up, cant find it

I may just be a Dar Dar and cant find it using the search option, but can someone hook me up with a write up on the wire mod, i got the motor out of my car and i figured i might as well clean up the engine bay while im waiting on my new motor.

Others have done it without cutting. It usually involvs a bigger hole or dismatling the connecters themselves and then some creative routing.

This it true.. i dont personally like the huge hole way but if you hav the skills then the "dismantled connectors" way works well also.

We did the cut method on my SS (patient zero) a LONG time ago and there has NEVER been a problem..

either way it looks way cleaner with the wires gone.

Yeah I did the cut method, solder and heat shrink tubing the wires back together. With a one inch hole with gromet the wires filled it perfectly.

I did the drill a big hole method, then I got some Clear silicone and filled the whole in, worked perfect.
