Did you have to extend the master cylinder wire? cuz i have to and i also need to extend the ac wire

Is there a way to move the coil? and get an extended coil wire?



oh i would have never guess that. thanks


Sorry i had to throw in a pic, i'm so excited on the outcome of the wire hiding process


I'm thinking of hiding some wires this summer when I have some time to play and its warm out... personally, I'd just leave the test wires.. maybe put a new loom on them and clean em up make them look nice... less of a PITA later on when you need to run a KOER/KOEO.. test

just my .02

When I did mine 8 yrs ago I found that if you peel back the plastic shielding and cut a little of cloth tape the brake wires are doubled back in the harness and you won't need to cut and splice the brake wires.

I did have to cut splice and extend my A/C compressor wires along with the overflow bottle wires.

I also put my EEC test connector inside and its right next to the fuse panel under the dash for easy access/ no reason to drape a cord over the fender if your inside running a test was my thought.

In my case I put my coil lower on the strut tower and brought the wires to the coil from inside the fender.
