Is it easier to start at the terminal block and wire the harnesses out from there or from the components into the terminal blocks? Which provides for a cleaner install?

Thanks, Wade

Wade,
I always run my Harnesses from the Component to the Terminal Block.

I do it both ways.

It depends really on what it is that I'm wiring, and how it's going to be integrated.

In MOST cases I start at the "block" and run the wiring out from there.

I.E. Remote starter. I'll mount the brain and run the wiring from there out to the various areas that need to be connected to.
Sometimes, like when going through firewalls I may run the wiring back to the remote starter, depending on which side of the firewall has easier direct access. ;)

Thanks, I am trying to update some wiring on a 91' Mustang and want to make it as clean as possible. When I run the wires @ the terminal block it seems like it gets pretty bulky and don't look as nice as I would like. Is there a trick to keeping the terminals looking clean and organized? Thanks



If you don't mind Sparky where can you find those Mil Spec connectors you use on some of your engine harnesses?
