cleaning up the engine bay

galzamar · May 21st, 2008, 09:16 PM

Also there is wire called speed wire . . . it is 9 wires that are wrapped up in a very clean tube that you can get in a wide range of gauges and colors . . . that is what I did my car with and it just looks like I have 2 wires that come from the fire wall that are about 4ga very clean and simple looking . . . also I took the wires that run over the fire wall and moved them to the interior, wire like for turning and headlights, I will try and get some pics up tomarrow of it. I rewired my entire car using it very clean look . . . it is also called 9 wire . . . it was designed for car audio but you can get it in different gauges to suit what you need.

Just make sure the qauge is large enough for the application. Too small and it'll get hot and melt or crack the insulation. I am going to rewire my whole car from scratch. It'll be an experience! I don't however recomend this to you. But just make sure you have large enough gauge of wire.

Weiand X-celerator is what I'm gonna go with!!! Along w/my "F" cam I should be fine.

i just got a stock 302 intake for right now to get it goin, but after that i might go with the weiand stealth or edelbrock rpm airgap or performer, because theyre slightly similar and they have them in stock at my local napa.
