wire tuck

whats up guys, iam trying to get get rid of the wires in my engine bay. i have read the post on here but i still cant figure out how to do it, i think iam just stupid or some thing, any help or pictures would be great. thanks guys. 87 mazda b2000

this is a pretty good shot.


you are going to need extra lengths of wire, i suggest more harness from another truck, if your carb'd get the wire harness from anther carb'd one, if fuel injected, get one from one of those. you'll need to disconnected your wires on the passenger side, near the battery, or cut your harness and splice in the new one to gain the extra length you need to keep the wires out of the bay. once you have the harness disconnected you have to start the process of unraveling the loom/tape, and will also need to pull it thru your dash, drill a hole behind the fender and relocate the wires thru the new hole... i wouldnt unravel the loom/tape until after you have relocated the wires thru the new hole behind the fender...

everything else from there is kind of your own choice. mine is half tucked right now, driver side is your lighting harness (also main power to in dash fuse panel, and the wires for the maf if your fuel injected..) if you get a long enough section of lighting harness you should be able to get the passenger side tucked with no problems, but choosing how to tuck your engine itself is kind of up to you. mine is a b2600i and i havent really completely decided how im hiding all my wires...

thanks man thats a big help. now i can try on mine to make it look clean, and keep it away from my tires.

i dont have a shot of mine, but i used screw down wire clasps to keep it snugged up towards the top, and away from my wheels...

Word, I did mine pretty much just like Leland. It works out great!

well all i did was follow the pictures mikey showed me of his, when he had all his sheet metal off and was repainting to the yellow...

after you get the wires to come out the side behind the fender is when you want to unravel the tape and remove the wire loom. at that point you are going to want to figure out where you want your coil pack, find those wires and either stretch (cut and lengthen) or move them and re wrap where you want them. i plan to redo all the wires for my 2.6 on the engine and instead of having them run from back to front, im gonna run them from front to back and into the firewall thru the metal plate with the 2 holes, im guessing they are what would have been the pass thru for the ac if my truck had come with it. doing that i should be able to remove a lot of the passenger side wires along the fender and reconnect them behind carpet in cab to the ones they connect to for the motor when i re wrap the actual engine harness...

i did it a little different. I ran the wires through cowl.

thats an idea i hadnt thought of... how much extra work was it to run thru the cowl instead...?
