I had another set back,
I hit a snag wiring my cannon plug that i had purchased from Keep it clean wiring. with these cannon plugs you have to solder each wire into the pin, which is fine for me because i am pretty darn good at soldering. i was able to wire one side up nice and clean, but the first wire on the other end of the cannon plug for whatever reason wouldn't cooperate. it didn't matter if i flooded everything with solder or even encase the wire and the pin with solder, it just wouldn't stick. so in the process of trying to remove the pins to drill anchor holes i destroyed that side of the cannon plug.
the plan now is to purchase a military grade cannon plug with crimp on pins. total cost is going to be about 280 - 300 bucks for the whole cannon plug. it sucks.
so in the mean time i am wiring everything else.
i bought wire looms from AZ that are intended for wiring hitch lights, they come with four color coded wires that are bonded together. i stripped one of the colors off. they are 25ft long and are pretty cool.
I used another product from Keep it clean wiring they are guides for spark plug wires, i am using them to keep the tight spots organized.
More to come
