Electrical Wiring Protection

Im about to start running the new wiring harness for my 69 F100. The old wires were covered in old cloth and electrical tape. I dont like the split plastic from Pep Boys. I want something that will protect and last the longest. Not much weather out here in Ca just heat and dust. I am considering electrical conduit painted black. Let me know what you guys suggest. Thanks

Avoid the Pep Boys stuff from Taiwan.. the plastic is cheap and isn't very resilient. Instead, opt for quality convoluted tubing from Taylor, Painless, or even from swap meet vendors. Secure the ends with a small zip tie or GM clamping clips pictured below... I get them whenever I go to the salvage yard.



Also consider braided polymer wrap like Summit PN SUM-890341.

Electrical conduit? Really? That's hokey IMO. Good luck feeding multiple connector ends through it. Your call.
