What wires are you trying to hide a striped 1st gen doesnt much for wires anyway, you could cut the harness and rewire the hole thing to make the single harness spider out were you need it but that basicly is what the OE Harness does!

Some plastic looming and a little common sense can go a long way toward cleaning up the engine bay. The first step of course is to eliminate anything that you don't need...

It all depends if you run a 12A or 13B. Hard to hid wires on a 13B as there are many. You will have to remove all the rats nest to get it to a point of wire conceilment.

Don't cut the wires. That kills the look. What I did on mine was, for all the unused plugs (A/C, Cruise, Carb, etc) I took the harness out, undid all the ugly tape and loom, pulled the wires out from the pins at the main plug on the passenger side. Then I put new loom on. I'll take a pic of the engine bay and post it up so you can see.

I plan on doing that ^^ with my FB then with the wires, bundle them up and slid them into a vacuum hose/line. Would suck to work on electrical problems, but the view ov very very few wires would be so much greater!

^ I would recommend using the split wire loom instead of the vacuum hose. The wires are still hidden but it is much easier to deal with.
