How did you guys route your taylors over on the pass. side of the car? I did the Dvr. side but with the alternator and pwr. steering there I didnt see a good way to route them.

Thanks,
Jeff

I bought the Thunder Racing OVC setup and 1200* sleeves. The sleeves were a piece of mind for me. No problems yet. I tried 5 times to route #5 out of the way, and kept burning wires up. So that is when I went the OVC route. Highly recomend it.

i routed mine in the same area as the stock wires on the pass. side accept i didnt use the stock loom, just ran all 4 of them under the alternator and above the power steering then when they came out of there and almost reached the opti i used one of the extra looms in the kit to keep them from being to loose and just kinda flopping around down there

If you use some convoluted tubing over the wires it will keep them from chafing when you run the wires through the bracket.

Did you have to take the alternator and pwrsteering brackets off? Did you still run them over the valve covers on the pass side?

No I did not have to remove the power steering or anything.
Keep in mind I deleted my AC so the compressor was not there.
the alternator was off for the header install but I don,t think it would have gotten in the way.
And yes I run 5 and 7 over the valve cover using zip ties, it does not look that pretty but I am more about things working good than looking good.
There is a nice gap in the bracket that you can run the wires through.
I have 5 thousand miles with the wires run this way with Hooker LTs and the boots look perfect.

I run Magnecor KV-85 wires in stock location, no problems so far.
IMHO, OVC look like ****, there's too much crap, wires and hoses all over the place already, anyway.
