I learned a neat trick on this build. This is something i am going to do on my build. I am going to come out of the floor at the base of the firewall through rubber grommets. Take a piece of stainless tubing and a bender and run it along the base of the valve cover. Bend it so it follows the contour of the bell housing. Make a slight flare on each end so the wires don't get cut. To make tabs, take some flat stock and hammer it over a t-dolly or a piece of pipe and bolt it to the valve covers. This is how I am going to run the wires to my alternator and compressor.I am going to do this soon. I can post a thread if anyone is interested. John Palmer made a good point and it was also brought up to me. Where anything leaves the body, have a plug in connector in case you ever have to take the car apart.The stainless was ran next to the paper tablet about half way up the valve cover.
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
