Also I have looked at this thread on a few occasions for ideas: http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=188393

That guy used some head shrink over the injector connectors. They look good but I don't understand how you release/relock the connector.


He also used heat shrink instead of loom on the wiring, which makes the resulting bundle a lot thinner. I think a few of the others above did the same thing to make the wires easier to hide.

Yes, I used heat shrink as the harness loom on the top/sides and front of the harness as well. It takes more time to make the harness, but it definitely helps keep bulk to a minimum and helps make it easier to hide things:

On this SBC build I flipped the injectors and ground a "wire path" in the lower intake so they could be hidden and routed out the front side of the Fiero engine bay:




Some of these wiring mods to make it slightly harder to remove the intake/harness, but I am willing to have a little more work 5% of the time and have the wires visually obscured the other 95% of the time.

A very good counterpoint for my desire to make things easier to R&R.

I've read through that entire thread, tons of great ideas! Same with the 944 build. I can't wait to dig into this harness now.
