Default Carb Question Cable Routing

Yes... I know I'm Going to the Dark Side....Almost compleat my question is to the people who have crossed over is..The cables appear to be too long ie TV,accel,cruise..I have the correct mounting bracket for all the cables..Bolts to the back of the manifold.. Should they be run under the wiper motor ?? It looks like they wont kink doing it that way..But they still appear a little long..They are just a lot closer to the firewall than stock with the new set up..How did you guys do it??? Thanks 86 Coupe Gbye TPI

Yes, I wrapped mine in a thick wire cover and went under the wiper motor. It does contact the firewall, but there doesn't seem to be a problem with rubbing, even more safe with the wire cover...

I did the same thing...it will be fine to "curve" the extra cable length...just test everything to ensure there are no binds.
