Under hood tape and tyraps
Well, I need to tie the convoluted tubing so the wires quit coming out for one. And also need to tie all the stuff that is near the headers. And for general repairs.
Another question. What are you guys using to waterproof the connectors? I would assume some kind of high temperature silicon based grease??
Al 95 Z28 going together. If I can figure out where all the f'in hoses go...

The stock seals on the connectors work fine for keeping moisture out. If they are gone then only thing I can think of is to smear a little gasket sealant on them before connecting them, however that can get messy. Zip ties work fine to keep wires away from exhaust primaries.

I was just tossing that out there, no doubt zip ties can be used but I gave up on them melting lol.

Verdad Gallardo Found some 3M high temperature electrical tape today. Rated to 211 degrees. I'll try it. Going to try to find real Ty-Raps and see if they are made in China like the others.

Any harnesses that are ran by headers or other heat sources I wrap in this HVAC tape. In regards to spark plug wires, they are kind of expensive but invest in the heat sleeve things you can get.
I'm curious to know what harness it is. If it's the cluster on the passenger side it can be routed between primaries 1 and 3 straight down through the motor mount and back. IIRC that harness contains the O2 sensors for that side, the PCM ground and starter wires. That way the cluster has plenty of space from any exhaust primary.
I just ziptied my passenger side harness to the A/C hardlines there to keep them off the header, and I wrapped them in that tape. Eh I might take a picture tomorrow if I'm that motivated.
