Extra wires after carb conversion, what to do...
Well the vette is finally up and running, now I need to decide what to do with the left over wires... what have others done that have done the same swap? I'm either going to try to tuck them above the bell housing or remove them all togather.. trying to decide which one... I do plan on making this a street car again someday as I have the origional block which I plan to rebuild as well as the crappy old tpi setup, but for now its gonna be a 1/4th mile car.. the harness is fairly well butchered, there are missing connectors everywhere and others have wires twisted togather with some duct tape over them.. what would you do? I plan on swapping in a new harness when I put the tpi engine back in anyway.. suggestions/opinions? Thanks!

I just rolled mine up in black electrical tape and shoved them behind the block.
I do get pissed when I have to remove the trans and those wires fall down when I am installing the trans but I live with it.

Eh probably just a couple runs on it and the occasional street cruise.. I have a feeling the tranny and rear end wont hold up too long after any kind of abuse..

Dont cut the wires up, throw some conduit over them and tuck em outta the way in case...
