Re: 81 Chevy K10 ShortBed
Well the truck is still not sold, so I went ahead and did some more engine cleanup as well as reroute the engine wiring in conduit. New aluminum valve covers, some new paint on the intake and its looking a little more respectable. Hopefully this year I will be installing some headers and while I do that, I am going to make some custom length spark plug wires to make it nice and neat.

During:
After:
The engine wiring is in good shape, but I went ahead and ran my AC compressor wire back through the firewall under the dash and out the drivers side. I also went ahead and replaced the two prong connector on the alternator, distributor, and tach connectors . I did pull the intake off and worked for almost an entire day on rerouting the wiring and placing it in conduit. A big job, but I feel a lot better about the wiring being protected and routed correctly.
