Need Help Full Wire Tuck!!!

Hey guys, I have researched this thing for a while now. Im trying to do a full wire/engine wire tuck. Since I am fixing my valve cover / spark plug oil Leak. I think its probably best to do it now. I am painting the valve cover garnet fire to match my car, but with out the wire tuck it wont be seen as much as I would like. For example when i say full engine wire tuck I am thinking something like candlestickparks(marcus) wire tuck!!! All and any help will be greatly appreciated!!!!!!

I think kennymo started a wire tuck thread, didn't he? Some info there, though IIRC no DIY for a full tuck.

Thanks man. Yup, that is a huge part of doing a wire tuck. Don't rush things. The accessory harnesses are straightforward, but the main harness can take a while, be patient because you want to be sure and put everything back together properly otherwise you could cause some issues with your car.

You can always do what i do and just do one at a time. I did a partial wire tuck on my 2nd Gen sedan. I think i am the only one so far. It is a big job don't need to rush to mess things up.

You guys think this can be done while the motor is out? My plan was to put everthing back together, put the harness on the way it went then start from there. do it then drop the motor in.. I think it would be easier this way since the motor is out and i can walk around the motor and have good access to all areas. What do you guys think? gonna be doing the headlights this weekend with my buddy Frank.

I can't see it right now but maybe someone else can see it better. I think the problem w/ that is when it comes time to put the engine back in some of your wires will be short. Your going to be moving wires around and they might not reach the location your trying for.
