It took me about 2.5 hours or so with my long tubes. I think. It was a while ago so my memory is a little shady.

Mine went on pretty quick as well. It was like a two hour job, I expected it to take longer.

I went between the water pump and the accessory bracket



I know the water pump gets pretty hot, but I believe the Taylor wires are rated to 600degrees.

I routed mine under the alternator:





I was worried about the WP burning them, so I went that route. First I put the wires on the opti and ran them how they would sit, then marked them with a marker, took them off and cut/crimped them, then put them back on. Took about 3 hours (I didn't have a jack).

I went behind the alternator also then pushed them in the wire tray that is directly below the alternator. You can get them to fit in the stock tray, but it takes some effort..
