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

its a bear with fresh rubber, after feeding all wires in, generous amount of glycerine to force into firewall. CSOB version: slit the snorkel down the middle, encase loom. Wrap with quality heat resistant, waterproof tape. Good luck!

As an alternative to the tape, you can use CA superglue to glue the edges of the cut snorkel back together. My snorkel was cracked & torn and it glued back very nicely.

That may be the ticket BillC. I'm not eager to pull all the rear wires to snake this through. It looks like a nasty project.

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.

Pulling the harness from the rear is easier if I recall. There are less ends and plugs that have to be disassembled. I had to do this on my six conversion as the wiring was a mess. Funny part is, I SHOULD have bought a new snorkel! Old one was really nice so I didn't even think about a new one.

Duh.
