[DML] Re: Wiring Harness

[tobyp@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Jon - The wiring harness that you refer to is supposed to lay over 
the top of the intake, in the position that you placed it in.  Many 
people dislike the appearance of the wires draped over the intake, 
and have hidden them.  I admit that I have done the same thing.  If 
done carefully, there is no significant stress to the wires and 
switches.  However, it is not technically correct to run them under 
the intake. It's pretty much a personal taste thing, so mechanical 
competency really isn't the main factor.
