[DML] Re: Wiring Harness

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I lengthened 2 or 3 lines and ran mine along the passenger valve
cover, parallel to the block. Allows me to raise and lower my intake
manifold vertically rather than making a funny swooping motion under
the harness. Note also the stock harness starts at passenger front of
the compartment, then swings all the way across the engine before
returning to passenger rear -- makes more sense to keep it on the
passenger side.
