OH Picture request - engine bay routing

Hi group,

I recently rebuild my engine and stripped the entire engine bay in my 79 RX-7. It seems I did not take enough pictures of it before I went to town on dissasembly. I would like to see pictures that show the stock placemet of the drivers side wiring and brackets that pertains to the starter, ground wire, lead wire, and the rest near the back corner. Any pictures are much appreciated.

Thanks

These are from my 80, which should be quite similar except for the ignition differences; bone-stock "before" pictures, and carefully-stock-positioned "after" pictures.

That's the vent line. I wanted to be sure I didn't confuse the vent and the return.

Pix are from my bay refurb back in 2001 I think it was. I'm redoing the harness tape right now; 11 years later it's gotten dirty and faded. Colored tape looks great but black hides the years better.

Nice pictures along with a nice car. It is a great feeling to get 30 year old grime and dust out of the way. I had the additional chore of soaking and scraping off beeswax undercoating that was sprayed all over the engine bay and accessories - that stuff is tough.

Thanks for these!
