2nd Chance Camaro 2.0 - AAW Tech Flex Wrap

2019 07-03 Update - AAW Tech Flex Wrap

So I have had this little table in my garage for at least year and I decided to pull it out and see if I could use it
in front of my workbench and what do you know it worked perfect.



okay close to perfect



Moving on to wrapping the harness with Tech Flex.





So before I wrapped up the main harness I slid a piece of heat shrink up the main section of the harness to hold it all together.



A few of the wires are not being used but I wanted to save them and also isolate them from any potential issues so I heat shrink wrapped each cut end.





Slowly but surely it is starting to look like a finished harness.







Getting closer



I also rerouted some of the section so that when I put the harness back in the car it lays exactly where
I would like it to lay.



so close





Once again all done for the night and now it's time to go for a ride.

Wiring terrifies me... I want the clean result but get lost trying to keep up with so many runs in different directions...
Thank you for sharing!!! ....and thank you for the laughs when I was fast scrolling through the pics and saw the wire nuts.... (because I have actually seen them used in cars before...)

I agree with you that wiring is terrifying and it took me a little bit to jump into this one as I new it was going to be very time consuming.

Wire Nuts - way back in the 80's I can remember people using them on car stereo systems.

In my quest to work on the car I decided that I would have the lower dash bracket powder coated for no reason other then personal because it is not like anyone will ever see it.





I also picked up some parts for the car from Midwest Hot Rods.





Since the headers are off and these where cheap I would install these exhaust port covers.



I need to make a few more holes so they would work.

and here comes the fun part



now this is a whole bunch of wires



The brackets are back from Pro-Tek Powder Coating and they look way to nice.

Moving on to installing the harness and hope all of my planning pays off.

I plan to run the harness over the top of the steering column and secure it safely to the column mount.





so far so good



Picked up some needed parts from the local AutoZone. I used the door edge guard on the edges of the
steering column framework as I felt they could be a wear point for the harness.





Not sure why I always reverse the adell clamps but I just do and one day I will try to figure it out.



Okay so one wire needed to get pulled from the wrap and thankfully it was an easy fix.




Harness is in.



I even plugged in the cluster to make sure it worked. It did !!!









Calling it a night once again.

Finally and I mean finally I get to figure out where & how I am going to install the new Holley Terminator X.

The "X" is the newest box and it is significantly smaller then the last model.






After look

So I have been trying to figure out where the harness is going to exit & this is one possible location.



The plan to would be to tuck the wire behind the vintage Air unit hang them with adell clamps.





Mounting Bracket Idea.

[syborg tt]

I had Dennis at High Speed Welding make me the bracket for the Holley ECI.





Not sure if Kenny made this bracket or Vintage air supplied. Either way I am drilling a hole in it.



Quick trip to Ace Hardware for the necessary hardware and yes I will be using nylock nuts on the bracket as I would have to pull the dash to get to it if it came loose.




Mounted on the Vintage Air Bracket





Started plugging things in and it appears we are good to go.




And of course I need to get more of these to anchor the Holley Harness





On a side not I plan to install the lower dash dash to make sure it is hidden.
