Post E-fuel wire cleanup

Hey guys,

Just finished my E-fuel. So no fuel bowl in the valley. Now I still have the harness that connected to various sensors on the fuel bowl and eventually to the IPR.

I'd like to clean these all up and disconnect everything but the IPR. The wires going to the IPR NEED to be replaced (connector also). So cutting and splicing is okay for me.

Whats the best route to go? Just cut them off at the main harness bundle near the HPOP? I used the fuel bowl heater to switch on the relays for the new fuel pumps and heater, but I found the wire near the fuse box and spliced into it there.

Thanks guys.

Solder them and heat shrink. Can even get some but connectors to solder the wires in. Make the heat shrink easier to slide over.

So cut them back, strip a little insulation off, solder it (maybe a butt connector) and heat shrink them shut?

Solder to the butt connecter then heat shrink. Or if you wanna get real clean looking get some of the seal connectors similar to what on the valve covers.
