Good work, I like the tuck. I was thinking of doing the same thing.
Don't you think if a fuse blows that you might just want to leave the cover off though? As long as feet don't stomp it I can see it being a bitch to access!

Nah it looks tight from the angle of the pics but theres a good 4 inches or more between the front cover and the back of the dash. Plenty or room to remove it, I made sure of it before i bolted it into place. The great thing is if you slightly bend the stock fuseblock bracket you can use two of the exhisting holes that the ac condenser box used.

Heres a few more pics....and one decent shot. This is how I did my drivers side wire tuck. Shows you what two plugs to strip, pull and reroute.

looks sick dude... if only there was a how to write up on it. id do it but im so damn scared to fuck it up lol. i really want to and my teacher is totally for it so maybe if i figure it out or somebody makes a how to (hint hint lol) il get it done but anyways it looks awesome congrats... the only other thing you could do is replace those headers or at least lose the heat sheild lol its so ugly i took mine off and it makes a huge difference.

its worth it though youll have a sick ass car thats reliable and youll be able to say you built it instead of just buying a swap motor. thats the path mine will be taking... now all i need is time for a job (not to mention the job to go along with it lol)

just wondering what gauge wire you used for the tuck? im looking into doing it and ive had differetn answers from16 to 22 gauge. i was thinking 18 since i have it handy but im willing to go out and buy the right stuff to get a good quality tuck.

you shouldn't really have to cut anything. i haven't so far. just leave it factory.

On the drivers side you just undo the harness wrap and reroute the harness and rewrap it.
That goo is old dialectric grease, used to keep water and corrosion from getting on the terminals. you can leave it. :)
On passenger side if you have efi you should have to cut and extend 5 wires and one main power wire. Not super sure about carbed.
88lxi-shortram
11-08-2010, 07:03 AM
im EFI but what 5 wires to cut lol... and where do you reroute the driverswires?through the hole towards the top of the fender to the windshield or somewhere else? sorry for all the questions this is my first tuck and since the motor is out i have lots of room and work opportunities to get this done and get a grade for it :thumbup:

11-08-2010, 09:26 AM
Yeah pretty much just look at the pics I took and youll see the two plugs and wire looms that can be moved and youll see where they go its pretty straight forward.
