Can I work backwards from the taillight wires and thread the snorkel up to the firewall? I think I can clear the major wires but the larger end of the snorkel would need to be pushed through the hole in the engine shelf. My car is a six with numerous mods to the harness. I'll do it right one day when I strip the car for a repaint, installing a new harness, but for now I need to find a simple solution.
If it's not possible to do this from the rear, what alternative have folks used to protect the harness wires in this location? Thanks, John Attached image(s)

Yes, pulling the wiring from the rear of the car back into the engine compartment is a bear of a job.
But do it RIGHT. Take your time, pull the wiring back to the engine compartment, and feed it through the snorkel. Tape the wire into a tapered bundle, and lots of silicone spray make it easier. But it will never be an easy job. But it is worth it. I am doing it on my big six right now. And I am adding in all the wiring for the new MS3Pro ecu. That makes the bundle quite a bit bigger. I don't think I can cram anything else in there. Good luck. |
