has anyone ever done a harness tuck on a j-body with an ecotec? i'd like to see pictures of some if so.... i plan on doing it myself, just like to get an idea of how it may look. and any hints/tips/advice would be nice. after i do mine i may even write up a how-to.... if anyone is interested.

Get all the parts you need in a pile, and drive the car into it.
They will find their way into the correct places.

i started it on mine when i put the eco in but the harness i had was a bit beat up and i didnt feel comfortable shortening the wires with the connectors i had and didnt want to go buy all new connectors at the time. our cars are really a pain to do this on being with the location of allot of the connectors. they are right there out in the open so there isnt much stuff to hide behind.

Thats very true. With how the throttle body is mounted with the Charger kit the 2 connectors for it are right on top in front and no real way to hide the idi connector. So a full tuck like a honda or nissan isnt gonna happen. HMMMM

yep, it would take some major reworking of our cars to do it. either new routing and moving of connectors, or fabbing some trim pieces to hide them. im going to try a combination of the two when i get back to it.

Same here. Got a pretty good idea on how to hide probably 90% of the wiring. Hardest things are gonna be what I mentioned above.

Make a cover for it.

^^Want another project Thats what I was thinking, for the 2, Maybe somethin out of aluminum that car be polished or color matched. Or if I had the cash I would switch to a msd set up
