I can wire stuff all day but I hard time making it look neat .. I`d love some pics of the back of engine please to give me ideas.
Instead of the usual corrugated wire looms I was thinking braided looms maybe?? I like different.

That's the stuff I use on everything...boat....car....truck....motorcycle
A few nice things about it.....
Pinch a few inches back to get her and you can see the wires inside....great for troubleshooting.
When running a branch circuit, you can pull the wire throuh the braid and put a smaller diameter braid on that branch circuit, exactly where you need it.....

I was just looking at the same stuff in my grainger catalog the other day. I usually use the spiral wire loom and I generally like it but I may buy a roll of the stuff you linked and give it a shot.

Well I got impatient I picked up something similiar from a local Napa. This stuff is tough... kinda hard to cut actually.

Looks great Dan!
Why dont you tell everyone about all your fancy sensors.....High water temp switch(light on at 180), high oil temp switch(light on at 275), high trans temp switch, low fuel pressure switch(light on at 4psi),

Thats was a great idea Joseph!
....those above along with low fuel pressure , low water pressure..etc, all will be wired to some bright ass warning lights with a custom panel. Less worry about always checking the gauges.
I wired all those warning sensors to one connector for easy hook up:

![Question](/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
The negative to the Alternator .. can I ground that to the block or go all the way to the battery negative on the block?

You can ground it to the block as long as you have a clean spot that free of paint, rust, etc.
The wiring is looking good brother.
Here are a few of mine.
We make the electronics plates in house out of aluminum, carbon fiber, whatever.. That is the key to having neat wiring. You must have a good place that is centrally located to mount everything. I also find it helpful to sketch out a schematic of all of the wiring first, so that I don't forget everything. There is nothing worse than strapping everything up nice and neat and realizing that you forgot a wire.
